(July 19) -- Joran van der Sloot, the Dutch native charged with killing a Peruvian woman and extorting money from the mother of missing U.S. teen Natalee Holloway, may have even more legal problems ahead.
Earlier this month, the National Enquirer reported on van der Sloot's alleged involvement in sex trafficking in Thailand. Now Peru's minister of justice has confirmed that Thai authorities are pursuing criminal charges against van der Sloot, according to CBS News.

During his own investigation in Aruba, Copus heard rumors that "girls were taken out of Aruba to be used in the sex trade," he said. "There was supposedly a guy from Chicago there, a reputed mobster, who has been quoted as saying that a good [sex slave] is worth a quarter of a million dollars."
Copus told AOL News that while there is a possibility that Holloway, if kidnapped, was sold into slavery, he doubts she would still be alive today.
"Usually they'll dope the girls up so they have no concept of what they are doing," Copus explained, adding that once the women are deemed no longer useful, they often are killed.
"There is another seedy business out there called the snuff trade, where they sell or trade recordings of actual murders," he said. "That's the final exploitation."

First in: THAILAND?
And people wonder why God made hell.
“And people wonder why God made hell.”
Point taken.
easy place to recruit girls and children for sex, and dispose of them without anyone much ever noticing
Thailand is a pedophile and sex tour “paradise”
Far be it from me to declare that we live in a world of sunshine and unicorns and no bad things ever happen, but aren't snuff films a bit of an urban legend?
I've been hearing about these for a good 30 years and I'm not aware of any snuff film being uncovered. Maybe I'm ignorant.
Anybody ever wonder where all the milk carton kids go?
At least the bad guys are dealt with appropriately!

What if Natalie Hollaway lived this drugged, sex-based existence and then were killed? I feel for Natalie’s parents, although I think they were unwise to send her on a trip, unsupervised, outside of the US.
Snuff films are not an urban legend. Lots of fake ones too. But they exist.
I was getting ready to post basically the same thing, thanks. I have never heard of a real one. Never!
So you think that because you or I have never seen one that therefore they dont exist?
I consider the video of KSM beheading one of his victims that I viewed on michael savage’s website to be a snuff film. I mean, I can’t think of any other way to describe that. It was probably the most terrible thing that I have seen, and I don’t ever want to see anything like it again.
Creep!
Will somebody please answer the question that has never been asked. What were the adult CHAPARONES doing when this kid was kidnapped? I know that they claim that they were not actual chaparones — just parents on the same trip. But shouldn’t they have assumed some responsibility for their charges? Morally, if not legally?
I have never seen God either, but I know he exists.
In somewhat of a defense I’ll say my brain doesnt work that way, First I havent looked for one, And I have known deviants and still havent even heard of one. Is real “snuff” just beyond all I have experienced? And here’s to hell for those who do search it out. does this make any sense?
Van Da SLUT. Hope he’s enjoying the fruits of his labors.
It may be one of the best ACTION videos of the last five years = to Bourne. It is no surprise that the director cut his skills making video games. Liam looks like a video man on a mission.
I think a competing defintion of snuff film, is a film of a murder, done for purposes of enterainment and/or profit. Snuff films, in this definition, would be considered a form of pornography.
The murder of Daniel Pearl certainly fits the first description, but I do not think it fits the second description. If Natalie Holloway were killed in accordance with the second definition, it would be surprising since I don't think any such snuff films have ever been found.
