Law enforcement officers say sex tourism in Colorado is happening more than anyone can imagine. A 9Wants to Know investigation has found adults are traveling here from other states and other countries to have sex with children, and police say every child is at risk.
“It’s very real and it’s happening,” Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Special Agent in Charge of Colorado David Marwell said.
“You could be going to the airport to get on a plane and passing a predator arriving here to meet a child here in Colorado,” Mike Harris, a senior investigator for the Jefferson County District Attorney, said.
Harris estimates about twenty percent of the more than 500 child sex predators he has arrested come from other states and other countries. He points to the 2008 arrest of Majid Alqurashi. The Saudi Arabian national flew to Denver International Airport with the intent of having sex with someone he believed to be an underage girl.
