Priest-in-training posted an ad on Craigslist seeking for infants to have intercourse with

Joel A. Wright placed an ad on Craigslist seeking an infant girl to adopt and engage in sex with; he also said that he had had previous experience with it.

This report will make you lose a little bit of faith in humanity: A 23-year-old priest-in-training from Ohio was arrested for planning to have intercourse with infants in Mexico.

A student at a seminary in Columbus, Joel A. Wright had arranged buy a three-year-old child through an ad he posted on the website Craigslist.

After a month-long investigation by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and with the help of an undercover agent who engaged in an email conversation with Wright back in November, Wright was finally apprehended at San Diego International Airport.

He had flown from Ohio to San Diego to meet a friend of the tour guide, after which he planned to travel across the border to Mexico to meet female infants.

“I want to adopt/ own a baby girl (under the age of three) and I want to have intercourse with her after I own her (but don't be telling people that).” Wright’s Craiglist ad said.

Father John Allen, of the Pontifical College, told Fox News that the seminary was “shocked, saddened and truly sickened by the intent of the alleged actions” and that they are 'eager' to help with the investigation.

Wright is no longer a student at the Pontifical College Josephinum, where he had studied for one semester, after he left without authorization, and is no longer a member of his diocese in Steubenville.

Internet Safety

Moms, here are few tips on how you can safeguard your family when they're online:

  • Don’t be quick to believe everything. Teach kids to never take their story at face value. They may claim to be the friend of a friend but this may turn out to be fabricated.
  • What's in it for me. Teach them to be able to gauge if a person is acting suspiciously. Overly friendly strangers, usually with lengthy messages, popping up on their inbox out of the blue is an example.
  • A culture of communication. we need to help our kids remember that they can always come to us to communicate their feelings and doubts when faced with having to deal with suspicious online behavior.
