He has saved more than 3,000 girls from tourist pedophilesA Wyoming man has made it his life's mission to help rescue girls in Colombia who have fallen victim to sex trafficking.
'There were kids, especially young girls reporting that they had been abused by American tourists,' Schwab said. 'Colombia is a very beautiful country for tourists, but over the span of time, we've had an influx of sex tourism, especially after the pandemic,' Schwab said.Maj. Johan Aldana from the Colombian National Police, told Cowboy State Daily that sex tourism has been on the rise in cities like Medellin, Cali, Cartagena and the county's capital, Bogotá.
In January, a 19-month-old girl was rescued by Schwab and his team after former NYPD officer, Agmad Beharry, 46, sexually exploited her.'We are committed to supporting this survivor as she grows, learns to speak, etc,' Libertas International said in a Facebook post. The President of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, has also been involved in trying to decrease prostitution in the country.
One girl, who goes by the name Milagros, was recently caught up in a sex trafficking string, and through the help of Schwab and his non-profit, she was able to get the help she needed. Since the operation started, more than a dozen men have been arrested and there are 30 open cases still pending. To make matters worse, a lot of the girls are being exploited by family members in exchange for money, Aldana said.
