New Delhi: The government will crack down on the tourism industry if they don’t stop visitors from bringing children into their hotel rooms for sex or watching child pornography on the Internet.

The Centre has sent hotel owners and tour operators a set of guidelines and a code of conduct to prevent the sexual exploitation of children by guests. This means the tourism ministry not only wants all hotels and cyber cafes to keep an eye on what people watch on the Internet but also deny them access to child pornography content on websites and television.

The code forbids tourists from seeking out children for sex via chat rooms, discussions groups etc. Staff in hotels and cyber cafes at all tourist spots have been asked to alert local police if they find child pornography material on guests.

Plymouth District Attorney Timothy J. Cruz said Gardner faced “heinous allegations’’ in the first arrest and that prosecutors were disappointed that Plymouth District Court Judge Thomas F. Brownell set bail at $10,000 instead of the $200,000 they originally sought.

After Gardner’s indictment, the first rape case was transferred to Superior Court, where prosecutors again requested high bail – $150,000. But Judge Joseph M. Walker III kept bail at $10,000, and Gardner remained free.

Depending on the circumstances, Cruz said, judges typically impose a range of bail amounts in sexual assault cases. In some instances, he said, judges have released rape suspects on their own recognizance.
