Here are better translations of the two articles:

From Ansa

A 55 year old man from Trento was arrested for sex tourism committed over the web. He was discovered thanks to Postal Police investigations on exchanges taking place over the Internet. It is Italy's first arrest for this type of crime. The investigation focused on the exchange of pedo-pornograhic material. The man is accused of committing sexual acts with young Thai and Cambodian girls between 12 and 16 years of age. The arrest warrant cites the crimes of prostitution involving minors, pornography involving minors and sexual acts with minors.

From Corriere della Sera

The individual was already known to Law Enforcement

Sex Tourism, First Arrest in Italy

Accusation: Prostitution involving minors, pornography involving minors and sexual acts with minors in Thailand and Cambodia

Trento - Prostitution involving minors, pornography involving minors and sexual acts with minors. These are the accusations that prompted the State Police of Trento to arrest a man, already known to law enforcement officers, on a warrant issued by the District Attorney’s office of Trento. Investigations, coordinated by District Attorney Stefano Dragone, were carried out by Trento agents of the Postal and Communications Police, who investigated the case in depth including cross-checks which focused on computer-based data seized from the accused. The investigation led to a warrant being issued, a first in Italy, for this type of crime (sex tourism) committed in Thailand and Cambodia in violation of Art. 604 of the Penal Code. The minors involved appear to have been between 12 and 18 years of age, all foreign women living in South-East Asia.

Interesting.

Hope it will make a few people question what they can get away with in places like Thailand and Cambodia.

foreign girls 12 - 18 living in Cambodia and Thailand? What are we talking about, Eastern European or Italian or ?

[TheDon]

Who cares what type of girls they are, that guy deserves the highest sentence there is available.

I took it to mean that from the perspective of being written in Italy, Thais and Cambodians are foreign women... but yes, not the best of writing.

[sriracha john]

ahh... an updated version from AGI reinforces that with a bit different writing.

The children were between the ages of 12 and 18, all foreigners from South East Asia.
