SAN DIEGO (AP):
Federal authorities say an Ohio seminary student has been arrested in California on suspicion of intending to travel to Mexico to have sex with a toddler or baby.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement said in a statement that 23-year-old Joel Wright was taken into custody after getting off a plane in San Diego.
Authorities say he had written emails to an undercover agent posing as a travel guide that he wanted to adopt or purchase a female child under age three in Tijuana, Mexico, for the purposes of having sex with her.
He's scheduled to be arraigned tomorrow.
