Anthony "Mark" Bianchi is one sick guy. He was imprisoned in and then expelled from Russia for child molestation. However, this didn't keep him from picking up where he left off, which was to travel around the globe paying for sex with children. This practice is sometimes called "sex tourism" (see New Jersey Millionaire to Stand Trial for International Child Sex Tourism).
This AP story doesn't discuss human trafficking directly, but talks more about constitutional issues related to prosecuting and defending American citizens for acts committed in other countries. The human trafficking side of this story is that somebody is putting these children on the auction block. While Bianchi is paying somebody for his excursions, he is the only one getting prosecuted unfortunately. There are more like Bianchi who will take his place. The story doesn't cover the trafficking angle and leaves all of the blame on Americans who perform sex tourism abroad. This is shameful considering that while Bianchi paid for sex with children and deserves nothing less than life in prison, somebody either bought or kidnapped his victims and pimped them to the wealthy American.
