EFTA00188312 | EFTA00188317 , guilty in underage escort case -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel.com Pagc 2 of 2 The two cases are part of a government crackdown on so-called sex tourists who travel overseas to molest children. The initiative has led to more than 70 arrests since 2003, including those of 15 people snared in the sting operation. The Web site for Latin American Pleasure Tours offers to fulfill travelers' desires with "clean, funloving companions of varying ages." All calls to the agency were directed to the Miami FBI headquarters and answered by Richard Love, a retired Fort Lauderdale police detective who posed as the agency's owner. Love testified at trial that Muentes needed no prodding to request a "very young" escort. In their first conversation, Love offered Muentes two types of escorts — for sightseeing or sex. After Muentes indicated his interest in a prostitute, Love asked him to choose from a range of 14 to 27 years old. "Let's go young ... very young," Muentes said. Love suggested a 14- to 16-year-old and Muentes agreed. When Muentes asked about the legality of sex with a minor, Love said it was all illegal. According to testimony at trial, adult prostitution is legal in Costa Rica, but transactions cannot involve a third party, such as an agency or pimp. Markus said Muentes changed his mind and requested a 21- to 24-year-old escort, but was never given a chance to back out. Sentencing is set for May 29.
