"Are we being the world's sex police? No. But if you're an American who is violating this law, we will...
...avoid getting caught. In separate investigations, nine men have been taken into custody for intending to leave the U.S. for sex with minors. "It's always been a shadowy existence. We don't really know what we have yet because we're only getting into it," says Walter Deering, special agent in charge of the State Department's diplomatic-security service, which has investigated recent cases of child smuggling...
