Report: Natalee Holloway Suspect Involved in Thai Sex Trafficking
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,449294,00.html Monday, November 10, 2008 [] A suspect in the 2005 disappearance of an Alabama teen in Aruba is involved in selling Thai women into prostitution, a Dutch TV reporter claims. Reporter Peter De Vries has made a second hidden-camera expose on Dutch student Joran Van der Sloot, who was believed to be with Natalee Holloway when she vanished while on a senior trip to Aruba. De Vries won an Emmy this year for another report on Van Der Sloot, 21, in which the student admits to dumping Holloway's body after she suddenly began shaking and died as they were kissing. <http://www.foxnews.com/photoessay/0,4644,2734,00.html>Click here for photos from the case. De Vries' latest report, which was shown Sunday night on Dutch television, shows Van der Sloot telling someone posing as a sex-industry boss that he can get passports for Thai women and girls who think they are going to the Netherlands to work as dancers, DutchNews.nl reported. Van der Sloot makes about $13,000 for every woman sold into prostitution in the Netherlands, De Vries claims. "The pictures show how little respect this 21-year-old has for the lives of others," De Vries told a Dutch newspaper. "The fact that he goes into the trafficking of women after the disappearance of Natalee is typical of him."

He was released due to insufficient evidence the first two times he was arrested. Aruban prosecutors had sought to detain him based on hidden-camera recordings captured by a Dutch TV crime show. In the video, Van der Sloot said Holloway collapsed on the beach after they left the bar and he called a friend to dump her body at sea. Joseph Tacopina, a lawyer for student Van der Sloot, said in February that his client was not responsible for the Alabama teen's death and that the tapes did not amount to a confession. "There was no confession, no admission of a crime by Joran on any of these tapes, which is very telling," Tacopina said on ABC's "Good Morning America." <http://www.dutchnews.nl/news/archives/2008/11/holloway_suspect_trafficks_in.php>Click here to read more on this story from DutchNews.nl. <*}}}>< <http://www.holypostage.com/>Holy Postage <*}}}>< <*}}}><<http://www.halfthekingdom.org/>Half the Kingdom!<*}}}>< Prayer for Unborn Life: O GOD OF LIFE AND LOVE, You have given us the gift to participate with You to bring new life into the world.
