Excerpt: In his plea agreement, Barragan admitted that, on numerous occasions between 1998 and 2012, he traveled from the United States to foreign countries where he engaged in illicit sexual conduct with boys between the ages of 13 and 16 years old.

That is one sick dude who will not enjoy his punishment. Good going DOJ. But, where does the Postal Service come in on this? Was this perv using mail?
It is easy to condemn this behavior, but I will point out that even on this conservative forum there are those who defend pornography and prostitution.
It was recently uncovered that one of the prominent and most watched videos on PornHub (apparently a very big player in online porn) turned out to be an underage girl in her mid-teens who had been kidnapped. The video was both child porn and forcible rape (i.e. not merely statutory rape).
Those of us who are tempted by pornography need to realize that real lives are destroyed by it. Probably most on this forum would never do what the man in this article did, but many may engage in illicit activities that they wrongly believe are harmless. Still others may engage in such activity (e.g. prostitution) out of compulsion even though they know it is wrong and harmful. If so, they should be aware that there is help in the form of support groups (e.g. 12-step SA or 8-step CR) to get clean.
Porn and prostitution destroy lives. This includes both buyers and sellers. Sometimes it leads to extreme cases such as the one this article addresses.
