I thought this Marine was done, when originally posted here on FR some years ago.

A U.S. Marine in a Philippine prison, especially in the videos i've seen. I figured this Marine would be wearing orange jumpsuits and dancing in groups to Micheal Jackson songs for decades. If he lasted that long.

Other than the dancing, i'm sure most know of the horrible living conditions. But Duterte released him. Keyword below as this case is discussed over the years.

Was this anything like what happened in The Crying Game? Did this pervert try to fool the Marine? If any dude masqueraded as a woman with *me* I very probably wouldn’t have killed him but I certainly would have made him wish that he had died as a child.

Having traveled in SE Asia (but never having been arrested) I can easily imagine that being in prison there...particularly as a Westerner...would be a noticeably unpleasant experience.

Why the hell was he pardoned? He was there in jail only a few years for killing a trans!

There must have been a corrupt quid pro quo that we don’t know of.

He should have stopped short of killing or causing great bodily injury. Then, other than the “date,” knowing the details, he should have kept the “surprise” to himself and no one else would have known about it.

Omigod. Olongapo city. That brings back really bad memories. What a shythole.

The girly boys of Japan/Philippines/Bangkok etal were there during my period (50s/60s) but since there was such a ‘fight’ for the money the bars wouldn’t allow them to work so if one stuck to the ‘B girls’ there was less chance of being ‘fooled’.

I have had girls point ‘them’ out to me and some of them looked almost genuine.

If I remember correctly the police kept them pretty much under control but ‘they’ are a different breed as during the early part of my service, ‘do funnys’ in the Navy were there and some were bold enough to make advances aboard ship which was really dangerous cause if one were to pick the wrong ‘victim’ a midnight swim may be in order or at least a trip to the showers with kaya brushes and a blanket party.
THEN - if they got ‘caught’ it was off to the brig where the Marines had special treatments.

Like the enlistee once said..

When I came in in the 50s being a ‘fag’ was a DD and Brig time waiting for you.

In the 60s, they introduced ‘kinder, gentler’ punishments so I got out before it became ‘Mandatory’.

I hope this Marine does not seek out prostitutes anymore.

[leaning conservative]

I believe Duterte hates anything gay & trans. That could be why.

"Laude had performed oral sex on Lance Corporal Pemberton without disclosing that she was transgender, and that the Marine, who they said had almost no sexual experience when the incident occurred, had felt “raped” upon discovering that Ms. Laude had a penis."

Yep, Rape by fraud...Not Guilty.
