Medellin begins cracking down on sex tourism; 2 foreigners arrested
written by Adriaan Alsema July 12, 2016
Years after becoming a popular destination for sex tourism, Colombia’s second largest city Medellin began cracking down on the phenomenon and arrested a foreign sex tourism provider.
According to local newspaper Vivir en Poblado, sex tourism provider Jay Harry Drivas, a.k.a. “Colombia Jake” and an alleged client were arrested Thursday last week while in the presence of a 13-year-old girl. The girl was surrendered to child welfare authorities.
The arrest took place only a few blocks from Parque Lleras in one of the apartments rented by the sex tourism provider.
The arrest of Colombia Jake is only the first arrest of a foreigner on sexual exploitation charges and was reportedly coordinated with the US embassy.
