According to deputies, 50-year-old Patrick R. Minga advertised a sex tourism business in Ecuador on Craigslist. A deputy saw one of Minga's advertisements that said for a fee he would arrange lodging, transportation, meals and unlimited access to females from Ecuador and Colombia that were under the age of 13.

Minga tried to induce and arrange travel for the undercover agent from Florida to Ecuador several times for a few months. He traveled to the United States on March 2, where deputies and federal agents were waiting for him in Huntsville, Ala.

He was arrested Friday in Alabama after a federal judge issues a criminal complaint charging him with attempting to induce and facilitate, for his own financial gain, the travel of an individual from Florida to Ecuador, so that the individual could engage in illicit sexual conduct with minor girls.

Minga is a former Cape Coral resident. If convicted, he faces a maximum penalty of 30 years in federal prison.
