His case illustrates the ease with which American pervs travel to Asia, where boys can be bought for as little as $2 and a bag of rice. The retired engineer, 74, spent nine years in a California prison for molesting as many as 500 boys on camping outings dating back to the 1960s. He was released from a mental hospital in 2004 and apparently moved into a luxury condo on Sedona, Arizona.
