I can't find any source for it, but this morning I heard of an FBI operation that was concluded here in San Diego that busted seven men in a NAMBLA sting operation.
The men were stopping here in San Diego before heading to Mexico to have sex with 12-year old boys.
I heard this on the radio while taking my kid to school and was suprised to hear the next part: Rick Roberts has offered his listeners $1000 for each member of NAMBLA that he can expose on-air.
Yup - Rick has put a bounty on these pedophiles heads!! Bravo Rick!!
When I find something with more details, I'll post it here.
UPDATE: Here it is:
Seven NAMBLA Members Busted in Sex StingHere's hoping that they fall down many flights of stairs while in custody....LOS ANGELES — Seven members of the North American Man/Boy Love Association, including two teachers, were arrested in Southern California and charged with allegedly planning to travel to Mexico to have sex with boys, authorities said.
An eighth man was charged with distributing child pornography, said FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller.
Four men were arrested in Los Angeles and three in San Diego Saturday.
They were charged Monday, following a sting operation in which each man allegedly paid hundreds of dollars to an undercover agent to arrange the sex, the Federal Bureau of Investigation said during a news conference Monday.
During the investigation, the FBI set up a fake travel company that offered a trip to Mexico to meet boys for sex, Eimiller said.
The men had allegedly traveled from their homes to Southern California with the expectation of boarding a boat to Ensenada, where they were told sex with the boys was awaiting them at a bed-and-breakfast, Eimiller said.
Through the undercover agent, she said, they requested that the boys be as young as 8 years old.
And here's that blurb about a bounty:
In light of this story, Rick Roberts is offering a $1000 bounty for information on embers of NAMBLA. "If you know someone who is a member, give me their name, location, and credible information that they are members of NAMBLA, and I will give you $1000 out of my pocket," Rick Roberts said on his show today. “I’m not suggesting you take the law into your own hands. Just provide me with the information. I’ll deal with the NAMBLA members,” Roberts says.Rick has been a strong child advocate all of his talk radio career and says he just doesn't understand how an organization that actively recruits and supports adults having sex with children can exist. "These predators need to be exposed to the bright light of day. We're hoping that these vermin start to turn on each other to pick up a few extra dollars," says Roberts.

Yeah - he's the first POS I thought of when I heard about this....he's probably squaking hard core about this in some distant forum.

I went to San Diego for Spring Break, and when I got back we had a substitute for the rest of the year. it was especially freaky for the guys in my class, because he always seemed a little friendlier towards them. yuck!
that was the second teacher I lost that year-- geometry teacher died of a simple cold (christian scientist). she never came back from christmas break...

If these guys were not going to break any Mexican laws, then why should they be arrested.
Many cultures honor pedophilia. Ancient Athens, for example, revered homosexual pedophilia. This was the greatest civilization ever.
The authorities are being too hard on these guys.
They're probably highly intelligent and decent guys.
Pedophilia is not always negative.

It's even worse than that.
They wanted 8 year old boys.
Not 12, 8.
What kind of system is this that
allows these individuals out of
prison to hurt more children?
One website reports that one

the child bleeding. The more
we know and understand how
bloody awful these crimes are,
the more we will protect these
children!!!
You've been reading to many hysterical right-wing websites.
Once again: Why arrest someone who is not breaking any laws in another country?
|| Posted by Alan the Pedophile, February 22, 2005 01:25 PM ||Because conspiracy to commit a felony in another country is still against the law here in the United States.
|| Posted by Mad Mikey, February 22, 2005 05:04 PM ||Why should the US punish people for doing something legal in another country? Typical imperialist thinking.
