Would-be sex tourist, 87, jailed
BBC


A 87-year-old Californian man has been sentenced to 20 years in jail for attempting to travel to the Philippines to have sex with two little girls.

Wheelchair-bound John Seljan admitted to police he had been visiting young girls in the Philippines for the last 20 years.

The judge said his term in prison was "tantamount to a life sentence".

He is the first person convicted at trial under the Protect Act, aimed at curbing sex tourism.

2. What a sick bastard
20 years in jail is just about right.

Still I'm amazed he's able to, um ...perform at 87. I hope I
still got what it takes at that age :D

3. There are plenty of available Filipinas of legal age
And, I'm sure they'd have loved to have met an American guy - especially one that age.

But, no, he has to go & be disgusting and go for underage girls. He got what he deserved.
