Six
Most Wanted
VK
Shashikumar, Mayabhushan Nagvenkar and Sanjukta
Sharma compile the crime file of dreaded paedophiles
During
its investigations Tehelka uncovered details on six paedophiles. Three Tehelka
reporters criss-crossed the 105 km coastline of Goa posing as event managers,
film-makers and researchers. They interviewed hundreds of villagers and
virtually all kinds of people associated with the tourism industry, policemen
and bureaucrats. Eventually, they were able to track down two paedophiles,
who figure in the Crime Branch’s intelligence alert of 2003.
The Tehelka reporters also unearthed a serial child abuser of French nationality.
He has been visiting Goa every tourist season for the last 20 years. According
to the intelligence report on Child Sex Tourism submitted to the Chief Minister
of Goa, Manohar Parrikar, funded and initiated by the British government,
a paedophile usually abuses 20 children during his or her stay. That means
that this French pederast, Bernard, has sexually exploited at least 400
children so far.
And yet, he does not figure in the Crime Branch’s paedophile alert
list!
Here’s the crime file of six paedophiles put together by information
gathered during Tehelka’s investigation and exclusive access to classified
police records.

Smooth
operator: Jorg Harry Ringelmann with his wife, Dimple |
Jörg Harry Ringelmann speaks halting English. It
takes a while before you grasp what he is trying to say. You need to carefully
mend and resurrect each word mauled by his strong German accent. That’s
a struggle in itself… after that, you need to work your way through
his web of deceit. Luckily, we were more than prepared for Ringelmann
when we dropped in at his place at Chopdem where he stays with his two
victims, Dimple and Mallika. We had managed to acquire an exhaustive set
of documents, which he had submitted to the police to justify their stay
in Goa.
He introduced Dimple to us as his wife and Mallika as his daughter, who
more or less would have looked like like-aged friends, had they not been
venomously hostile towards each other. He claims he has picked Dimple
from an acrobat family residing in the slum quarter in Juhu, Andheri.
His meticulous documentation had already got us charged up about the case.
The thicker the paper trail the more are the chances of treading onto
a paedophile’s toes. Their documents told one story, their oral
accounts, another.
