Peru arrests American accused of running child sex tourism ring
Peruvian authorities arrested an American man charged with running a child sex tourism ring out of Lima for the past 10 years and rescued 11 victims aged between 4 and 17, police said on Monday.
The arrest of Joshua Brown, 64, along with five accomplices, was the first major bust of a child sex trafficking operation allegedly led by a foreigner in the South American country in recent years.
Police said they were now investigating the "probable" murder of two children related to the case.
Brown was in police custody and could not be reached for comment on Monday. Authorities said he did not have an attorney.
