Pedophiles Strike Back in Finland

Mikko Parantainen from Äänekoski Finland was found guilty of having an illegal registry of people and sentenced to 3 months on parole and to pay up to 64 000 Euros for emotional suffering and lawyer fees to 13 convicted pedophiles whose names and pictures he published on Facebook. He was also convicted of insulting a convicted sex offenders honor.

 

 

 

Parantainen had published sentences from several court cases dealing with rape an pedophilia on an open Facebook group dedicated to exposing pedophiles. He had also linked to several news articles where the names and pictures of many of the convicted sex offenders were published. He had also published contact information of some of the sex offenders

 

 

 

It is worth mentioning that the documents he published are public documents anybody can order from the court house. And even Finland isn’t quite far out enough to criminalize publishing the names of convicted criminals – although the MSM frequently refuses to publish this information. While it is obvious he de facto did get his sentence for publishing public documents and linking to established media outlets articles, technically the reason was having an illegal registry of people.

 

 

 

This is interesting because there are several Internet sites where all the same information has been published and that have been operating for far longer than Parantainen and his Facebook group. Sites such as crime discussion forum murha.info and parental forums vanhemmat.fi and vauva.fi have published names of convicted pedophiles for over a decade and had updates of their ware-abouts after released from prison.

 

 

 

Interestingly this is also a matter of the criminal court and not a civil court. The Finnish D.A. has been active on the matter and they are using tax payer money to protect the privacy of convicted criminals – who legally do not have the privilege to keep their identities hidden.

 

 

 

One thing that sets Parantainen apart is that he is also an outspoken critic of the Finnish immigration policies and discussing matters on-line using his own name. Parantainen commented on a Finnish portal hommaforum.org that the law is very unclear on the matter and he would have not done it – at least using his own name on social media – had the legislation forbidden it clearly. He can not see the difference on linking the data to Facebook and the aforementioned sites that have been doing the same for over a decade

 

Finnish legal system is an explosive topic on-line. Many people believe that the system as a whole is in the hands of progressives neo-marxists and no longer serves the best interest of the people. I most certainly am one of those people.
