Precious was weird and fun. Please send me pics of 3 or four of the youngest ones so I can choose. FBI investigators say William Dixon Adelman, a year-old Studio City man, sent the request to a Tijuana sex broker on July 3, β the same day border crossing records show he was returning to the U. Hotel people would freak out no? FBI Supervisory Special Agent Joseph Rothrock in San Diego said the agency has investigated three to four cases in the past six months of Americans traveling with intent to have sex with minors.
A third case involves the Philippines. He said the cases are the beginning results of a renewed effort to tackle child trafficking in Mexico with help from Mexican law enforcement. He declined to discuss details of the cases, including if any child victims have been identified or rescued.
Young children are offered more covertly, authorities say. Many of the children are brought up from other areas of Mexico , Ugarte said. Some are orphans, unaccompanied minor immigrants or sold by their parents. Some are kidnapped, she said. Child sex trafficking has long been known to be a problem in Tijuana, but there is no official data suggesting just how prolific it is.
The Tijuana investigations began in December, when a U. The FBI found the unnamed broker, interviewed him and was granted access to his email and Facebook communications with several clients. The broker denied actually providing access to children, but admitted to communicating with several people about setting up such transactions, according to court records. The man did admit to providing clients access to adults for sex.
The communications indicate Adelman and another man, Kenneth Bigler, 52, of Walnut, separately traveled to Tijuana several times over the past few years, either successfully engaging in sex with young children or intending to do so, according to complaints filed in San Diego federal court.
