Here we go again with good old Tommy Chong reading every word through the eyes of someone who thinks everyone who posts is a discriminating racist. Do you not realize that both Brad and Lebron are both speaking of NON – ENGLISH speaking people living here? Not people with accents. You’re really a very twisted, angry person who looks for the negative in absolutely everything. It’s sad. Please stop commenting until you can add value.

@ Tommy Chong- thank you. Your comments make sense.
Every culture and sub culture uses slang or twists words. Yet for years Bermuda has been singled out. Seems like it has become more acceptable to use shortcuts when typing.smh.

First, let us call him what he is, a PEDOPHILE. Second, his English was good enough on August 2nd to communicate his disgusting perversions to this child. I say we lock him up for a month in the general prison population. Then we strip him of any rights to reside here and deport him back to his country of origin.

I’m with you Maria. They wouldn’t ever find the body if this PEDOPHILE came within spitting distance of my boys.

As a parent I really hope you’re wrong. There are many out of prison with past pedophile convictions who claim they are cured.

The bail is not that high compared to the offense. Three foreigners were charged the same bail for fraud which I believe anyone would agree is not anywhere close to being as bad as what this guy did. This guy should have never been allowed bail IMO especially since he has admitted to what he did. Now parents will have to keep an eye out for this guy if he makes bail.

As far as the comment by “inna”… nationality doesn’t factor in…it’s the charges.

This person was convicted of assault and an indecent act, which means they can be named.

People cannot legally be named if they have been charged with a sexual assault.

Both Bermudians and non-Bermudians have been named for assault charges, and both Bermudian and non-Bermudians have not been named when charged with sex assaults.

Even in cases where the alleged sex assault didn’t happen in Bermuda or involve Bermudians in any way [incidents happening at sea on Bermuda flagged cruise ships] when they are brought to Bermuda to face charges, we still can’t name them legally.

It’s all dependent on the charges, not nationality.

$5,000??? They give other offenders less bail! Is this because he is NOT Bermudian?

Gay marriage is no more related to pedophilia than heterosexual marriage is to rape. Totally unrelated. Like your comment on the topic.

He’s not the only foreign worker on island who can’t speak english. Even though there are many more here who can’t I don’t see this as a problem if their job doesn’t require them to speak to costumers. If the worker may be required to speak to customers they should be able to communicate clearly with the costumer in english.

As for blue movies this will not solve the guy’s problem since child porn is illegal. This guy needs to see psychiatrist since I don’t believe he can comprehend the impact of his actions & won’t until he has had professional help.

What do you mean by that? Do you mean those with a strong Bermudian accent or those who speak in slang? If you take someone with a strong Scottish accent & someone with a strong Boston accent they may find it difficult to understand each other but they are both considered english speakers. Now if you ad slang to the accent it can make it more difficult but it’s still english just a colloquial form. Many of the english words today derived from slang & still at present new slang words become part of english dictionaries. Much of the reason why people speak slang in Bermuda & elsewhere is not because they don’t know proper english but because they either use it to represent the clique they hang around or want to trough off nosey eavesdroppers.

A police report doesn’t cost Bermuda anything it is charged to the individual. I’ve been required to produce a police report when working abroad on arrival. BPS charged me close to $200 for the fingerprints & a file that was empty since I had no convictions but the countries policy was completely reasonable to me. Every country should require a police report from all new residents upon arrival.

This guy has been living here for 20 years & could have possibly done this to another child in the past. A few months back there was news of another guest worker who had been living in Bermuda for a while before it was found that they had been convicted of child porn possession in their own country. A police report may help to find out if a foreign worker is a risk to our society. We already have locals who pose a risk & shouldn’t compound the problem.

I do agree with you that foreigners convicted on island should be deported after serving their sentence. We already have a foreigner here who was part of the most heinous crime ever in Bermuda who is still allowed to reside & we don’t need anymore but a report may help curb more arrivals of criminals.

He should have been sent packing as soon as he left the court house. The island is too small to keep his kind around.

@inna: For the tenth billion time…if someone is ACCUSED of a sex crime in Bermuda they cannot be named until found guilty! That is because individuals sometimes make untrue allegations that can ruin a man’s life if he is actually innocent. In such a small society as ours, that kind of stigma will follow you around which is unfair if you are innocent.

HOWEVER, if you are found guilty in a court of law or ADMIT guilt from the start like this creep did, you will be named as you are clearly not innocent.

Only those found guilty are named and shamed. Those who aren’t found guilty are not. Get it now???

He’s one of those selective English speakers. They speak English perfectly well until they get in trouble with the law and then it’s “Duh-me no understand…me no speak a English.”

What a perv. He didn’t know that that kind of thing is unacceptable? I hope they deport his azz ASAP since he doesn’t know what is acceptable in our society.

No problem with guest workers. But honestly this is disgusting deportation is needed! ASAP. Every week someone’s child is being touched by some pervert! Bermudian and non Betmudia. I feel bad for the boy who was just trying to enjoy his holiday.

Sounds like he’s GAY as a white rabbit. Next time Serodio stick to someone over the age. It shouldn’t be hard to find someone who likes the same sex on this island.

By: Lebron

Lebron — Tue, 06 Aug 2013 21:39:33 +0000

Yes I have actually. I think it is unacceptable not to be able to speak English as a resident in Bermuda. And if you were born here, lord only knows why you would pass this up.

If he is a guest worker let him do his time and deport his perverted ass, if a long term resident with PRC take back his privalege and deport him also.Tired of these sick F—s walking the streets, maybe it is time for some old street justice??Government must also start asking for police reports from all who want to work here from there countries of origin..

What also bothers me is that the courts are quick to release the names of those committing these types of acts for non-Bermudians, but its always “who cannot be named for legal reasons” for Bermudians!

By: Brad

Brad — Tue, 06 Aug 2013 18:02:12 +0000

How about the Bermudians born and raised here who don’t speak English? Got a problem with them?

By: Lebron

Sounds as though he is a guest worker. I have no problem with guest workers, we all know they are needed, but why are we letting people in to work if they can’t speak English?
