86 !!!! fucking horny old goat .. wanting to molest kids
SANTA ANA (California): An 86-year-old man has been found guilty of attempting to travel to the Philippines to sexually molest girls, in violation of a new federal law aimed at fighting sex tourism.
A judge on Saturday found John W Seljan guilty of six counts, including attempting to travel for the purpose of having sex with minors and possession of child pornography.
Seljan faces a minimum term of 10 years in prison and a maximum of 270 years when he is sentenced in March.
The retired business owner is one of about a dozen men who have been arrested under the Protect Act, which was enacted last year.
The law made it easier to prosecute those who molest children overseas and increased penalties.
Seljan was the first to go to trial on charges brought under the Protect Act. At least two other men have pleaded guilty.
His defence attorney, Allan Stokke, had argued that the government presented insufficient evidence that Seljan intended to have sex with two girls with whom he exchanged sexually explicit letters.
The lawyer said on Friday he had not decided whether to appeal.
Seljan, who sat in a wheelchair during the non-jury trial, was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport, where he allegedly attempted to board a flight with child pornography, sexual aids and nearly 100 pounds of chocolate.
