NEWARK, New Jersey — A Canadian citizen is facing charges in New Jersey that he helped arrange trips to Thailand for adults who paid to have sex with children.
John Wrenshall has been extradited from London, where he was arrested in December.
The 62-year-old Wrenshall faces three charges related to sex tourism and more than a dozen child pornography counts.
The sex tourism charges carry a maximum sentence of 15 years each. The child pornography counts range from 10 to 15 years.
Some of Wrenshall's clients have already pleaded guilty.
Wrenshall is scheduled to appear in U.S. District Court in Newark Tuesday afternoon. It was not known if he had retained an attorney.

It is about time - as a grandparent I have watched our kids (who were allowed to fail although I do remember some nagging on our part) learn, I have watched our children now micro-manage their children. A big part of it is the fact that there are predators out there and an extreme reluctance on the parents part to alllow freedom that might result in the children becoming victims.
