I tried to make it a link, but for some reason that function isn't working with this specific URL. So you will have to cut and paste. Sorry. Also, it's in Spanish, so you may have to use an online translator (Google works well for me).

A man was arrested on suspicion of the crime of Sexual Tourism
• This is a man of United States nationality
Agents of the Judicial Investigation Organization (OIJ), featured in Section Crimes against physical integrity, and Trafficking, arrested today in Alajuela a 65-year-old, who appears as a suspect in the crime of sexual tourism . According to preliminary report, bailiffs began an investigation earlier this year, after receiving confidential information, in which they mentioned that the suspect was dedicated to promoting the country through a social network, as a place of sexual tourism.
The agents of the aforementioned section, began an investigation through which they were able to obtain information that the suspect apparently climbed photos and videos to that network, which allegedly promoted to Costa Rica as a country for sex tourism.
Today in the morning conducted an operation where we were able to arrest the suspects in the Juan Santamaria Airport and was seized a computer, a camera, business cards and some photographs of women.
It was learned that this is the first case in which a person stops in Costa Rica for the crime of Sexual Tourism
Finally, the detainee was under the orders of the Public Ministry with its own report, to be determined by their legal status. "
Is this the beginning of the end???? Will it stop with CD??? Or will other, less flamboyant mongers, be targeted in the future? Are we safe bringing back digital media (consensual pictures & videos) without being subject to search and seizure????
IMO, the moral of this story is to exercise an abundance of caution and discretion.
