Fake Photos Depicting Rape Victims in Riots in Indonesia

I regret to inform my readers that the two photos I have posted depicting
Chinese women being raped during the May 13-15, 1998 riots in Indonesia
are fake.
Both of these photos were previously posted to a web site entitled "Sexy
Asian Schoolgirls" on December 4, 1997, well before the May, 1998 riots.
In addition, I had previously established that other photos supposedly
depicting the results of the May 13-15 riots are fake as well.

The possibility that they are real photos taken during the riots and later
added to the "Sexy Asian Schoolgirls" site would seem to be excluded by the
fact that the date for the posting of those two pictures is 4 Dec 1997,
which was well before the May, 1998 riots in Jakarta.

This fake photo supposedly depicts a Chinese women being raped during the
May 13-15, 1998 riots in Indonesia which brought down President Suharto
on May 21.
Compare this with the next photo, which was posted on the "Sexy Asian
Schoolgirls" site on December 4, 1997.
Note the tape on the woman's breast.This photo was posted on the "Sexy
Asian Schoolgirls" site on December 4, 1997.

Can you detect any similarity to the previous photo which supposedly depicts
a Chinese women being raped during the May 13-15, 1998 riots?
Note that there is no tape on the woman's breast.

The only other possibility would be that the date of 4 December 1997 is
false, but I doubt that.
Whoever did this has done great harm to the cause. The falsification of
these photos will no doubt lead others to claim that the atrocities
themselves did not occur.

Here is the proof:
I had previously been able to establish that three photos which I had been
led to believe were from the Jakarta riots are actually from East Timor.

Look at http://www.asiadragons.com/indonesia/news/special/riot_rapes/
 under the section entitled: Photos - Riot - By Traveler US 200798

There are three photos with the file names usa1.jpg usa2.jpg and usa3.jpg.
Those same three photos can also be found at

 http://www.easttimor.com/html/h_r_violations.html.

Clearly those photos are from East Timor, and not from Jakarta.

I did not post those three photos on my web site. The two photos which I did
post, which I renamed indorape.jpg and indorap2.jpg, were convincing and
appeared to be authentic.

However, it was pointed out to me that those two photos are fake and can be
found at:
  http://www.serve.com/asnschgrl/images/sex/4lk.jpg
  http://www.serve.com/asnschgrl/images/sex/3lc.jpg

The index for those two photos is posted at
  http://www.serve.com/asnschgrl/images/sex/.

This index shows that the two photos were posted on 4 December 1997.

Other observations: Actually, the photos I have posted as indorape.jpg and
indorap2.jpg show the same three people, one woman and two men.

However, indorap2.jpg is fuzzy in comparison with the version of the same
photo which is posted at
  http://www.serve.com/asnschgrl/images/sex/3lc.jpg

Since it is hard to make a fuzzy photo sharp but easy to make a sharp photo
fuzzy, this indicates that the version on the Sexy Asian Schoolgirls site is
the original.
In addition, the version I have posted has the words "Asiadragons.com
Chinese Victim - Indonesia Crisis 98".

I would like to know more about Asiadragons.com, because it appears that
they are responsible for this falsification.
Also, the photo I posted as indorape.jpg has minor censorship because the
nipple on the woman's breast is covered with a thin tape.
Note that the photos at
  http://www.asiadragons.com/indonesia/news/special/riot_rapes/
also have this sort of censorship.

Here are all the photos for comparison. I am also including the coverpic of
the Sexy Asian Schoolgirls site for reference.

UPDATE: You can say you read it here first: On August 21, 1998 (two days
after I posted this) the Wall Street Journal reported: Some Indonesia Rape
Photos on the Internet Are Frauds.
