Exposing Andrew Drummond's Lies - Ian Tracey

Most readers of this blog know that I am involved in extensive litigation with Andrew Drummond, a journalist resident in Bangkok.

Andrew Drummond is a convicted criminal, after being convicted of the criminal defamation of  Drew Noyes and David Hanks in Pattaya earlier this year. Drummond was sentenced to four months in jail (suspended for one year).

Andrew Drummond - A convicted Criminal

I have been reading Drummond's blog and copying URL's for the last three days (the reason will become clear to the entire world on Monday May 26th).

I have noted many inaccuracies, as well as outright lies. I intend to address the inaccuracies and outright lies in this blog.

Every time I expose Drummond as a liar, he writes about me again - he cant do any more damage and as far as I am concerned can now write as many times as he wants - there is however a very nasty surprise in store for him and a number of other individuals who comment on his site, and use Google profiles to do so.

Earlier this year Drummond reported on his site that I 'set up' a man called Ian Charles Tracey.
Ian Tracey - Jailed for Child Sex Abuse by Appeal Court then released by Supreme Court
Ian Charles Tracey was convicted of child sexual abuse offences by Rayong Court of Appeal in approximately September of 2010,  and was arrested as a result of a warrant issued by Rayong Court of Appeal.

Ian Tracey's Arrest Warrant - issued 14th September 2011

The Court of Appeal issued the warrant when Tracey failed to appear at Court - Tracey later told the Court he had not received the documents.

The full decision of the Court of Appeal is published at the bottom of this page.

The warrant for Tracey's arrest was issued a year before I knew him - some set up!

I helped Ian Tracey find a lawyer for his case and the lawyer lodged the documents with the Court of Appeal - he has been released now. I am not clear on whether or not Ian Tracey's conviction has been quashed, or he remains convicted of child sexual abuse offences and has been released on on bail pending appeal.

The appeal and request for bail was lodged free of charge.

Drummond previously said of Tracey in two stories :

From Drummond's site on 3rd September 2013 :

'Last week Thai police found a wanted child abuser hiding in a room below Goldie's in the ‘Jaggy Thistle’ – the registered office of Goldie’s firm Alba Law.

Londoner Ian Charles Tracy, 47, had been on the run on for nearly a year on charges of abusing two boys aged 10 and 12, in Pattaya. Not only was Tracy living on the same premises as Goldie but witnesses say he had actually helped Goldie acquire the bar in the first place.

Tracy had little visible means of support in Pattaya, which is as famous for its young ‘boy bars’ as well as its thriving heterosexual sex scene. He earned pocket money making such things as steak and kidney and chicken pies and selling them to British run bars.

But he also had a voluntary role visiting foreigners in the local prison at Nong Plalai just outside Pattaya and reported back to Consulates – including the British one – on their condition and complaints.

He said he worked for a local children's charity ‘The Mercy Centre’, a fact that is unlikely to be confirmed'

Tracey has now gone from 'wanted child abuser' and 'on the run' to 'victim' - unbeleievable!

Comment : 

Tracey was jailed as a result of the lawful order of a Thai Court with an arrest warrant properly issued according to Thai law.

It is not for me or Andrew Drummond to comment on the guilt or innocence of Mr Tracey.

He had been advised to surrender to the Court, and if he had done so he may have been granted bail - he chose not to do so despite being fully aware of the warrant for his arrest.

At the time he was arrested he was being followed by Thai police and had been under surveillance since the time of the arrest of Tracey's close friend Greg Miller - he had been warned of this by his own 'contact' in the Thai government.

Greg Miller was jailed in November of 2013 at Pattaya Provincial Court after pleading guilty to the serial rape of a nine year old boy.

  1. Drummond is s serial pest and has no credibility, hence why he has to resort to writing lies and defaming comments on his blog site. It is a shame however that Thailand has not gaoled Drummond. I will certainly celebrate with a few beers if it happens.
