winknews.com reported that a former Cape Coral resident is accused of bringing an individual to Florida from Ecuador to have sex with minor girls for his own financial gain. If convicted, 50-year-old Patrick Minga faces a maximum penalty of 30 years in federal prison. According to the criminal complaint, Minga advertised, on Craigslist, a sex tourism business in Ecuador. Minga indicated that, for a fee, he could facilitate lodging, transportation, meals, and unlimited access to females from Ecuador and Colombia. An undercover agent with a U.S. Immigration and Customs spotted the ad and contacted Minga. Over the course of several months, Minga allegedly tried to arrange the travel of the undercover agent. Minga advised that he could provide sexual encounters with minors as young as 13 and 14 years of age. Read Article
