Man Faces Charges of Sex With Underage Boys
A Los Angeles man was charged Monday with two federal felony counts of having sex with underage boys in Thailand.
Steven Erik Prowler, 57, faces two counts of traveling abroad to engage in illicit sexual conduct under the PROTECT Act, or Prosecutorial Remedies and Other Tools to End the Exploitation of Children Today. Each charge carries a maximum prison sentence of 30 years.
Prowler was turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials last week after being jailed in Thailand for allegedly molesting two boys, 15 and 16, last year, authorities said.
He is being held without bail.
