Spanish citizens knows or has heard someone of his surroundings say that he
has had sex relations with children during a trip to developing countries,

"occasional sexual abuser," more exactly a man aged between 40 and
60 who is in search of adult prostitution and ends up having sex with a
child. The main sex tourism destinations are the Caribbean Islands and
Central America, UNICEF said. Five Years After ECPAT: Fifth Report
