The events began on the night of March 27th at around nine o’clock, when Livingston attempted to enter his room at the Gotham City Hotel in Medellin with what appeared to be two underage girls. A hotel staff member prevented their entry, so Livingston and the girls left the hotel located in the famous ‘El Poblado’ district.

Hours later, around four o’clock in the morning on March 28th, with no security checks at the establishment’s entrance, the American managed to enter his room with two different underage girls aged 12 and 13, as evidenced by security camera footage.

Following an anonymous call to the national police, the authorities arrived at the hotel and inspected the premises but found no evidence of the accused touching the minors, and both girls denied being touched. The 36-year-old suspect was detained for 12 hours at a Protection Transfer Center (CTP) but was released hours later, allowing him to return to his country on Monday, March 29th. The girls were seen by security cameras leaving the hotel calmly, seemingly counting several Colombian 50,000-peso bills.

Did someone frame him into twice bringing underaged girls to his hotel room in an area known for sex trafficking, including putting used condoms in his wastebasket? Or do you think it's the far simpler explanation that he is a pedophile who was caught in the act?

You do not, in fact, need to run defense for pedophiles.

He was always probably a pedophile, we've read the same article

You still can't let mobs do the justice

we've read the same article

I don't think we have, because if you did, you would have read that Columbia has issued an arrest warrant for this man. So no, it is not mob justice when people spread the name of the pedophile Timothy Alan Livingston of Cleveland, Ohio, who has a Colombian arrest warrant issued for him because he, over the course of one night, attempted to bring at least four different underage girls into his hotel room in an attempt to have sex with them.

You keep defending this pedophile and it's creepy as fuck. Reconsider the decisions you've made that have brought you to this point in your life.

The arrest warrant and the 2 additional children were not in the original article

Honestly if there's an arrest warrant and the dude fled it gets harder to defend a burden of proof that's hanging on a system that he manages to evade, though we've seen people genuinely just going back home and getting a warrant after but let's put that aside.

On one hand i appreciate the deterrent that publishing his name is to other sex tourists, but on the other if he gets beaten to death because of it, or worse, some guy with the same name - I'm not fond of that either.

All that while honestly there's already systems in place for fleeting criminals, not sure there's much benefits feeding his real name to the mob in a very well referenced newspaper.
