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.

Too bad Rod Serling isn't still alive and writing.

No you see these are U.N pedophiles... Now if they had been U.S workers then wer would be talking about REAL news. The MSM is becoming an obscene joke. And they probably think they did some great public service with abu grab.
When I first read about this story in a London Times article, I didn't ever think it would see the light of day in the US media, so ABC deserves some credit for doing a report on it.
Will we ever see it in the New York Times or the Washington Post? Maybe on page A23, if at all.
As the US stands accountable in the court of public opinion for the actions of its soldiers, so should the rest of the world.
He looks like your typical European inbred faggot perp. Picking on young girls, that he can handle. Facing an enraged father, he would die of fright pissing in his shorts.
This in from the universe: Killing and war are not bad. They are necessary to keep the forces of evil at bay. Are you 12 years old?
Yes, and he needs to be replaced with someone who is honest and trustworthy, i.e. not x42.
