The U.S. Division of Justice says Christopher Edwin Day, 52, traveled two different times in 2015 and 2016 to Vietnam from Florida to have sexual encounters with minor Vietnamese boys. Court records say he flew backwards and forwards disguising himself as an English trainer.

A few of the boys, in response to the DOJ, had been lured with promises of cash and gifts. Others launched him as their English instructor.

The Tampa Bay Information says Homeland Safety investigated the case in Tampa and in Ho Chi Minh Metropolis. It was a part of Undertaking Secure Childhood, which was an effort to seek out little one sex abuse started in 2006 by the DOJ.

Thanks to HSI’s international investigative authorities and powerful partnerships, both at HSI Tampa and HSI Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, this sexual predator was stopped from harming more youngsters and his victim could have the justice they deserve,” stated HSI Tampa Assistant Particular Agent in Cost John Dumas, in response to a news release from said HSI Tampa Assistant Particular Agent in Cost John Dumas.
