Cambodia expels accused child molester to face U.S. charges

By Sam Stanton | Sacramento Bee


Notorious child molester Jack Louis Sporich is in federal custody and being returned by plane from a Cambodian jail to face charges in the United States.

Sporich, who is believed to have molested more than 500 young boys since the 1960s, faces a criminal complaint of engaging in illicit sexual conduct in foreign places and is being returned to this country under the auspices of "Operation Twisted Traveler," an international law enforcement effort aimed at pedophiles who travel as "sex tourists."

Thom Mrozek, spokesman for U.S. Attorney Thomas P. O'Brien in Los Angeles, said Sporich was expelled from Cambodia and is being escorted back to this country by immigration officials. He will formally be taken into U.S. custody when he arrives in Los Angeles this afternoon.

Sporich, 75, is a wealthy former engineer who prosecutors have said has been molesting children since he lived in Illinois in the 1960s. He was convicted in Ventura County of seven counts of molestation and spent nine years in prison before being sent to the Atascadero State Hospital as a "sexually violent predator."

Sporich, who was the focus of a 2006 Bee series on the failings of California's efforts to treat such predators, refused treatment at the hospital and won release in May 2004 after two juries were unable to agree on whether he might reoffend.

1. "... unable to agree on whether he might reoffend."

You don't recover from this particular disease. What a waste of humanity.

2. Thanks for shining light on this Mr. Kristof.

3. I'm all for giving offenders second chances, but...

Sex offenders are FOUR TIMES more likely to re-offend than any other class of offender.

I don't know what the solution is though. Lock them up forever? Castrate them? Life-time supervision?

4. Lock this one up forever, which won't be long. nt

5. Castrate them AND lock them up forever.

There is NO cure for sexual deviants. Their hard-wiring is defective and cannot be fixed. They will NEVER be fit for living in society at large. They absolutely must be segregated from society for the rest of their lives.
