EL PASO — Immigration and Customs Enforcement special agents arrested a San Elizario, Texas man on Thursday after he was indicted on sex tourism charges, authorities said.
A federal grand jury indicted Gustavo Solis-Martinez, 35, on July 16 for allegedly traveling out of the country with the intent of engaging in illicit sexual conduct with a teenage girl in Juárez, a federal offense under the PROTECT Act.
PROTECT, which stands for Prosecutorial Remedies and Other Tools to end the Exploitation of Children Today, was signed into law in 2003.
“Sex tourism is a federal offense that ICE investigates aggressively with the assistance of our international law enforcement partners,” said Roberto G. Medina, special agent in charge of the ICE Office of Investigations in El Paso. “This case exemplifies the level of international resolve to ensure that those who prey on children do not go unpunished.”
