Saudi tourist arrested in CA intending to have sex with a minor

Yes, it’s true. And I suppose a 2 1/2-year-old is technically a “minor.”

A tourist from Saudi Arabia traveled to California to molest a 2 1/2-year-old girl, federal and state officials said Friday.

Nabil Al Rowais, 37, was arrested at a Vallejo hotel Thursday night after he arrived for a visit he’d arranged by e-mail with a man he thought was the girl’s father, officials said.

The girl doesn’t exist and the “father” was really an undercover agent.

Al Rowais told investigators he is a practicing psychiatrist in Saudi Arabia, though he entered the United States on a nonimmigrant visa issued in Canada, according to a joint statement by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the U.S. attorney’s office in Sacramento, and the California Department of Justice.

The story says he faces 5 to 30 years if convicted. Personally, I’m all for bringing a little of this guy’s home to America, just for him. Let’s have a public beheading for this one.

Sorry if that’s shocking, folks. Very, very little brings my blood to an instant boil faster than this kind of child abuse.
