Pedophile Chicago engineer arrested in Rome in the act of raping a 14 year old boy

A U.S. citizen has been arrested in Rome on
suspicion of prolific child sex abuse after he was
caught raping a 14-year-old boy, according to
Italian newspaper reports.
The man, said to be a 52-year-old former Boeing
engineer from Chicago, has allegedly spent a
month luring scores of young teenage boys to a
rented apartment near the city's Termini station,
which has become an epicenter for illegal
immigrants, underage prostitutes, and criminal
gangs.
He paid the victims - mostly North African and
Romanian migrants, some Italian - between €50
and €150 for sex, the Interior Ministry told Il
Messaggero.
His arrest concludes a two-week police
investigation into reports that a foreign man was
seen skulking around the station every night
scouting young boys for sex, according to official
statements.
After placing hidden cameras around the station,
police said, they identified the man - known
locally as 'The English' - then burst into his
apartment as he was sexually abusing a 14-year-
old boy.
He has been arrested and jailed, the reports
claim.
Police believe that the man came to the Termini
station ghetto specifically to 'prey' on young
teenagers for sex, and that he intended to stay in
the city until February.
They suspect he targeted Termini after
widespread international reports about child
prostitution rings run in the station's toilets and
back alleys. whether it is a former employee.'
It comes less than a year after Termini station
police uncovered a large-scale child prostitution
ring in May 2015, which led to the arrest of at
least eight men including a priest and a pastor.
The station has become a hub for the underage
sex trade, with Middle Eastern, African and
Romanian boys and girls - some as young as 11 -
loitering around toilets to sell themselves.
They operate under the control of a number of
older men aged 35 to 70, Il Messaggero reported
last year.
But despite widespread efforts by Termini police
to crack down on the ghetto of illegal immigrants,
today's report suggests children and their abusers
are finding ways to evade law enforcement.
The age of consent in Italy is 14. Prostitution is
legal but streetwalking, promoting prostitution, or
working in a brothel is illegal.
