DUBAI: Some Malaysian children are believed to have fallen prey to paedophiles from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) who surf the Internet looking for their victims.

A Dubai police spokesman told The Star that their intelligence revealed the acts of sexual abuse happened outside the UAE.

“The paedophiles cultivate friendships with children from countries like Malaysia. Later, they make trips to Kuala Lumpur under the pretext of coming here for a holiday before meeting up with the youngsters and sexually abusing them,” said the spokesman. The paedophiles use money to lure the children.

Based on previous cases, the modus operandi of these paedophiles were to target young Internet surfers from other countries; later enticing them with expensive gifts and cash if they agreed to escort the predators for holiday at the victims’ country of origin. In many cases, gullible parents allowed their children to follow the predators, after being besotted with the wealth and decent looks of these men.

The spokesman also said that UAE had last week entered into the Virtual Global Taskforce (VGT), a collaboration between law enforcers around the world to combat international networks of child predators.

He added the UAE’s VGT would be lead by a senior government official, who had directed for closer surveillance on those going online into Malaysian web hosts.
