Canadian accused of pedophilia in Thailand arrested in Vancouver airport

A Thai police officer, Pottaput Kamho, said today that he received confirmation from police in Bangkok that the Canadian Orville Frank Mader, 54 years old, had been arrested on wednesday in Vancouver airport. Mader is accused of sexually abusing on 8 years old boy in Pattaya.
2 days ago, Thai police discovered new details about this case. The boys went to Pattaya shopping mall at 10 pm to meet some friends. After that he went down to city's gay district, the way to go home. At about 12 am he was kidnapped by a Thai man who rent his room to Mader to have sex with the young boy.
A police officer said the alleged encounter lasted for about an hour, between 1 am and 2 am.
The following day, the boy's father filed a complaint with the police when he asked him where he got the money.
Canada has an extradition treaty with Thailand so the Canadian sex tourism should be extradited to Thailand to face the charges.
Mader is the second Canadian currently facing child sex charges in Thailand. Christopher Paul Neil was arrested earlier this month after an international manhunt. He reportedly stayed in the same Pattaya hotel as Mader. Surveillance cameras have captured images of them at the Ben Mansions hotel.
Some Southeast Asian countries, including Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam, are visited by pedophiles due to lax law enforcement, corruption in the justice system and the easy availability of young boys and girls who are forced into prostitution by poverty.
