UNITED NATIONS — A scandal about the sexual abuse of Congolese women and children by U.N. officials and peacekeepers intensified Friday with the broadcast of explicit pictures of a French U.N. worker and Congolese girls and his claim that there was a network of pedophiles at the U.N. mission in Congo.
ABC News' "20/20" program showed pictures taken from the computer of a French U.N. transport worker. The hard drive reportedly contained thousands of photos of him with hundreds of girls. In one frame, a tear can be seen rolling down the cheek of a victim.
The news report coincided with the U.N.'s new "zero- contact" rule banning any interaction between U.N. soldiers and locals in Congo.
The staffer, Didier Bourguet, 41, is facing charges of sexual abuse and rape in France. His lawyer, Claude de Boosere- Lepidi, said in court last week that there was a network of U.N. personnel who had sex with underage girls and that Bourguet had engaged in similar activity in a previous U.N. posting in the Central African Republic.

I hope these UN goons get AIDS!!
The above quote is from a government spokesman in Eritrea, a somewhat benevolent East African dictatorship which has been esentially forced to allow the presence of peacekeepers. Eritrea seems to be one of the few countries that actually cares enough about its people to kick out peacekeepers found to engage in dishonorable romantic involvements.
I haven't seen a bumper sticker that ~ there should be one.
Roger that!
Nahhh, He's french.
A-OK behavior in france.
Just ask Polanski
And to think that we still insist on remaining a member of this corrupt organization. What does it say about us?
Bill Clinton is the last, that should be in charge, too,protect the moral rights of women in this world.
Never forget, the little blue dress, that stained the his presidency!
OPs4 God Bless America!
Anybody doubt this pig is gonna skate in a country that made itself Polanski's Argentina?
The only positive aspect is that this disgraceful behavior by UN employees could serve as another in the long list of reasons the US should get out of the UN.
We don't need the UN. Get 'em the hell out of here.
I'm sure these photos will be plastered all over CBS and the NY Times day in, day out - like the photos from Abu Grahaib...
DOUBT IT...

Given the MSM response to the sexual abuse committed by a small percentage of perverted (and almost exclusively homosexual) priests,
and in light of the sexual abuse committed by a small percentage of perverted UN officials,
one wonders if the MSM will now ask that ordinary citizens (or laymen) be allowed a leadership role in the UN, that the UN be "held accountable", and its leaders shamed and forced to resign.
Where is the hue and cry?
see 115 and ping
Just imagine, these are the same people whose ultimate desire is to be sent to America as "peacekeepers".
And let's not forget that we've got U.N. officials aplenty already here in America.
I don't expect the UN to punish their employees - they all seem to have diplomatic immunity. Even some of their ex or retired employees like Scott Ritter up here in Delmar, NY can engage in teenage sex recruitment and the local DA will refuse to prosecute for fear of UN immunity considerations.
Get us out of the United Nations!
