Boris Kunsevitsky, an Australian paedophile based in Singapore, has been jailed for sexually exploiting dozens of children around Southeast Asia.

Earlier this week, the Australian was sentenced to 35 years in prison by a Melbourne court after he pleaded guilty to sexually abusing children for more than 15 years and producing child pornography material in which he induced children to have sex with one another.

Kunsevitsky faced 59 criminal charges that included, producing child pornography, sexual exploitation of a child, persistent sexual abuse of a child, and importing child pornography material.

The sexual predator preyed on 47 children, 5 of whom resided in Singapore, where he stayed until his arrest in Australia two years ago.

Boris Kunsevitsky will serve at least 28 years of his jail sentence before he is eligible for parole.

A spokesperson for the Supreme Court of Victoria explained that the sentencing comprised a term of imprisonment for two State charges. This would include 11 years with a non-parole period of 8 years, plus the term of imprisonment for the Commonwealth charges, which was 24 years with a non-parole period of 20 years.

The Commonwealth charges cover his paedophiliac criminal actions in the Philippines, Indonesia and Singapore. Meanwhile, state charges cover crimes committed in Victoria, Australia.

According to court documents, Kunsevitsky grew up in Russia and followed his family to Australia at the age of 12, and finally he relocated to Singapore and stayed here from 2001 to 2017.

In Singapore, he was employed as a director selling aesthetic equipment by a local firm Esthemedica. The company has disclosed to Channel News Asia (CNA) that it did not know of Kunsevitsky’s crimes.

CASES OF SEXUAL ABUSE THAT EXTEND BEYOND 15 YEARS

Legal documents indicate that his victims were from ages 10 -17,  and the majority of the offences were committed in the Philippines. He has also left a trail of abused children in Singapore and Indonesia.

Private details regarding the children as well as others who were severely affected have been redacted by the court.

The history of his crimes are traceable to January 2001, where he engaged in sexual acts with a child under the age of 16 in the Philippines.

Whereas, in Singapore, between the years of 2002 and 2003, he took 17 photographs of a child between the ages of 10 to 14 and proceeded to sexually exploit the victim. This took place in Kunsevitsky’s home.

Authorities were also able to find 28 photographs of another boy in Singapore that dated back to November 2002, where he forced his victim to perform various sexual acts.

His other victims in Singapore are not mentioned in the court documents.

According to prosecutor Krista Breckweg, the offender was a prolific traveler, as he had explained in his police interview that he traveled extensively for work.

The prosecutor added that some of his offences occurred in Singapore where he was based for most of the charged periods between January 2001 to September 2017.

His crimes were kept untraceable until one of his many victims was identified back in 2016. Some 55 pornographic child images of an Australian boy who was groomed and abused by Kunsevitsky surfaced and was found by the German authorities.

Following this, a warrant for Kunsevitsky’s arrest was issued in Australia. However, the warrant could not be executed as he was residing in Singapore.

He was finally arrested when he returned to Australia in September, 2017.

“面试对答如流” 教育部次长解释淡马锡和义安学院为何聘用费雷拉

教育部兼人力部高级政务次长刘燕玲,在国会回答议员提问时指出,在2008年招聘美国男子费雷拉时,淡马锡和义安理工学院已有核对其文凭,在面试时在学院管理层和专家面前,也表现出对心理学相关领域知识有良好掌握。 这使得上述两所学院决定聘用费雷拉。费雷拉被指在上月28日,涉及泄露1.42万名艾滋带原者和病患的个人资料。 但她指出,淡马锡和义安学院进行的认证核查,也和其他公共领域做法一样,但即便学院已做了仔细调查,但“也没有任何机制,可以完全防堵或侦测到谎言”。 她表示,淡马锡和义安学院,也曾向费雷拉文凭证书的相关学府对证,但一些国外学府基于私隐权问题,而无法对这些核实学术身份的申请作出回应。 “我们不想做得太激进,避免把外国专才吓跑”,她表示在人力管理上,定期的监督和观察就变得很重要。 宏茂桥集选区议员殷丹博士(Dr. Intan Azura Mokhtar)是在国会向教育部长提问,淡马锡和义安理工学院在招聘费雷拉时,是否有仔细核实其身份和学术资历? 早前,香港媒体《南华早报》报导,费雷拉的个人资历出现在香港一家名为Guia Education教育中心的网站上,被列为执行董事。他在2008年前来我国之前,曾待在香港。 费雷拉的个人照下方还列出了“APA,…
