On Wednesday, ICE said the indictment follows an investigation by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Newark, HSI San Juan and the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office.

David Herman, 78, of Airmont, New York, and St. Croix, was arrested in October 2013 at the St. Croix airport, where he expected to meet the child, ICE said.

He was indicted on Tuesday on one felony count of attempting to transport a minor to engage in sexual activity.

“This case shows anyone who attempts to exploit a child can and will be held accountable for their criminal actions regardless of where in the world the investigation leads or how much time has passed,” said Andrew McLees, special agent in charge of HSI Newark. more
