Prosecutor Says Man Visited Pedophile Resort
By SUSAN SAULNY

A former Brooklyn pediatrician took beach vacations to Mexico and Central
America not to enjoy sun and sand, but rather to have sex with young boys
at a resort for pedophiles, a federal prosecutor told a Manhattan jury
yesterday as the man's trial began.

The former doctor, Stefan Irving, 56, of Sunset Park, traveled to Mexico
and Honduras, where he baited boys as young as 6 with action figures and
children's books, then took advantage of them, Michael Scudder, an
assistant United States attorney, said in his opening statement in Federal
District Court.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the defendant did not stay at a Holiday Inn," Mr.
Scudder said. "He stayed at a resort where American men go to have sex with
boys."

Mr. Irving was arrested in May after a lengthy nationwide investigation led
the authorities to a guesthouse in Acapulco, where they say boys from 6 to
17 were recruited off the streets and given shelter in exchange for sex.

Mr. Irving is charged with traveling internationally to engage in sex with
a minor. If he is convicted, he will face up to 30 years in prison.

Mr. Irving lost his license to practice medicine after being convicted of
attempted sexual abuse of a child in 1983.

Mr. Irving's lawyer, Andrew Citron, said in his opening statement that the
government had a "tremendous absence of evidence" to support its charges in
the current case. Mr. Citron also told the jury that Mr. Irving certainly
had an interest in minors, but that his interest was "not illegal."

"He had many other reasons to make these trips other than to have sex with
minors," Mr. Citron said of Mr. Irving. He later added, "These were normal
vacations."

Mr. Citron criticized the government's evidence, which includes entries
from Mr. Irving's personal journal and testimony from the manager of the
Mexican guesthouse. He said that the journal excerpts about boys were
incomplete and misleading, and that the manager of the guesthouse had
ulterior motives for cooperating with prosecutors.

Officials have said the manager told them that on more than one occasion he
observed a boy accompanying Mr. Irving into his bedroom at night. According
to the complaint, the manager told investigators that Mr. Irving questioned
him about which boys were staying at the guesthouse.

"The manager stated that Irving asked for such information because, perhaps
among other reasons, he wanted to be certain that his favorite boys would
be at the house when he visited from the United States," the complaint
stated.

Gee, cross post it enough?

Neither Mexico or Central America are overseas.

Too bad there has to be a trial, they should just put him in prison for a
couple of weeks and turn their backs.

Great for them. About time these scumbags are taken off the street,
wherever the street is.

Agreed. But still, how can they prosecute for something that happened in
another country? "traveling internationally to engage in sex with a minor"?

Yes. In Australia, at least. We have laws that allow Australians to be
tried for such obscenities here, even if the crime is committed overseas.

Yes, exactly.

There's nothing new about prosecuting for conduct that occurs outside US
jurisdiction. Consider the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
