A 69-year-old man was charged Wednesday with having sexual contact with young boys in Cambodia in what is believed to be the first indictment of its kind under a new federal law aimed at protecting children.
The Protect Act, signed in April by President Bush, makes it a crime for U.S. citizens to travel abroad to have sex with children. It also toughens penalties against child pornography and encourages states to set up Amber Alert systems, designed to help track down missing children.
