Despite the Maddie headlines, Algarve records 'best ever' year!

[Lyall]

Really?  You know that for a fact?  This pervert just assaulted children up the road a bit.

You're the one asserting assaults happened in PdL, when the Telegraph article indicates otherwise.

Where are you getting it from?

Good question.

Where everyone else is getting it from.  It's On Record.  The PJ even have a Semen Sample.

Not from PdL they don't.

Have a look at what the Met themselves said. Not what "everyone else" is saying.

Seems to have disappeared from their website &%+((£

(yep, both the March appeal and April update. Gone!)

[Alfred R Jones]

I said, yes. But it's not an exact comparison. A better one would be French police attempting to link those British crimes in an appeal when perhaps British police consider them to be random, or at least not all linked together.

So we agree that there were sex crimes against children in the Algarve, as many as twelve separate incidents according to the Guardian between 2004 and 2010 http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/mar/19/madeleine-mccann-police-intruder-girls-algarve however any mention of these is deemed to be either irrelevant or a gross exaggeration and just the normal number of sex attacks you'd expect to find against small children in the Algarve, and what we mustn't do is make any attempt at investigating a possible link between these attacks and the disappearance of Madeleine McCann less we adversely affect Portuguese tourism.  I get it.

No. What you mustn't do is suggest all of the incidents were sexual assaults.

At least not based on the evidence of the Telegraph and Guardian articles.

Oh really?  So what were these incidents involving strange men intruding into little girls bedrooms?  Were they just there to do some balloon modelling?

[Mr Gray]

there may well have been other assaults that were suppressed or not properly recorded by they local police.

You and your fellows are desperate for a link.

None  found.

No evidence  of abduction either.

Tough.

Read the articles, and what the Met actually said themselves (though as I say it's now gone from their website).

[Mr Gray]

yes listen to what the Met say...McCanns not suspects

[Alfred R Jones]

So, how many sexually motivated attacks were there in the Algarve over a six year period, and was this just the usual amount of attacks that one could expect to be perpetrated on young girls on holiday there?

[stephen25000]

yes listen to what the Met say...McCanns not suspects

They've found nothing.


ENOUGH SAID.

[Alice Purjorick]

Six million passengers through Faro airport for the first time. Clearly they didn't take too much notice of the pundits on here.
Or maybe some did and it could have been seven million were it not for adverse publicity from a few members of this forum  *&*%£
