PHILADELPHIA —  A wealthy motel owner was convicted Friday of traveling to eastern Europe to sexually assault impoverished boys in exchange for money and gifts.


Anthony Mark Bianchi, 44, of North Wildwood, N.J., was found guilty of virtually all the charges he faced in federal court.


Bianchi was convicted of having sex with or attempting to have sex with four boys on foreign soil, including in the isolated Moldovan village of Trebujeni, in exchange for money, food, liquor, trips and gifts.

That's just... gross. It's amazing how widespread such offenses are, though, particularly in nations not considered part of the First World. The link to more info about Bianchi, though, seems to be broken.

It was only a matter of time before other places stole Las Vegas' naughty tourist slogan. Now it's "What happens in Trebujeni stays in Trebujeni."

... and it's most definitely not the sort of reputation that Moldovans want for their nation!

It does make you wonder who "brokered" the contacts for Bianchi before his trip.
