US to crack down on child sex-tourism
Three Americans accused of traveling to Cambodia to have sex with children are expected to be charged in federal court here, officials said Monday, marking the first prosecutions under a new international initiative intended to combat child-sex tourism.

The initiative, Operation Twisted Traveler, targets Americans who exploit children for sex in Cambodia, which experts describe as a top destination for child predators. U.S. and Cambodian authorities, as well as nongovernmental organizations, were involved in the effort.

"This level of cooperation is unprecedented," said Virginia Kice, a spokeswoman for U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, which coordinated the initiative with the Justice Department.

Before arriving in Los Angeles on Monday, the suspects -- Ronald Boyajian, 49, Erik Peeters, 41, and Jack Sporich, 75 -- were arrested by Cambodian authorities on charges related to child sexual exploitation. They are expected to make their initial appearances in federal court Tuesday afternoon.

About time! Let's hope other countries will follow suit in helping stop the "tourists."

6. Rush Limbaugh will be disappointed to hear this.
His trips to the Caribbean will be much more secretive in the future.

12. Interesting. They passed a law some years ago which made Americans accountable
for Child Sex Crimes overseas, which they had not been before.

If this initiative is about making the authorities more pro-active, that is great news...These sick fucks need to be stopped.
