“The legal guidelines of the US will still catch as much as baby predators who even travel to overseas countries to sexually abuse minor kids. Because of HSI’s international investigative authorities and powerful partnerships, both at HSI Tampa and HSI Ho Chi Minh Metropolis, Vietnam, this sexual predator was stopped from harming extra kids and his victim could have the justice they deserve,” said HSI Tampa Assistant Particular Agent in Cost John Dumas, in keeping with a information launch from said HSI Tampa Assistant Particular Agent in Charge John Dumas.

Day pleaded guilty to two counts of travel with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct and two counts of attempted coercion and enticement of a minor into unlawful sexual exercise, based on the DOJ. Day has been sentenced to life in jail.
