A former Ohio seminary student who pleaded guilty to trying to adopt and buy baby girls in Mexico so he could sexually molest them will be sentenced in San Diego Friday.

In April, Joel Alexander Wright, 23, admitted to seeking sex with infants he wanted to adopt from Tijuana. In his plea agreement, Wright admitted he had written numerous explicit emails where he described, in graphic detail, how his desires to sexually assault baby girls under the age of four in Mexico.

“There are no words to describe the horror that might have happened, had an innocent baby been placed in this man’s arms,” said U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of California Laura Duffy in a statement in April.

At his sentencing, Wright faces a maximum penalty of life in prison with a minimum mandatory 10-year sentence, maximum $250,000 fine and lifetime registration as a sex offender.

1. The minimum penalty should be life in prison.

I don't think this type of mental derangement can be fixed.

2. What a shame some US Americans see Mexico as such a poor country one can buy children there.

That seems to be the way a lot of primitive US Americans feel about people who are born without the same advantages.

Heart-breaking.

Wow, does this guy ever have a swift kick in the rear coming from somewhere.
