Federal agents have arrested a South Florida man they said made several trips to South America to have sex and make child pornography videos with underage girls..

Dennis DeJesus, 45, of North Lauderdale, was arrested at his home Saturday on child "sex tourism" allegations. He was caught in a major international undercover investigation in Colombia and the U.S. that resulted in the weekend arrests of 11 Colombians on child sex-trafficking charges.

Homeland Security Investigations agents said authorities rescued 55 child victims — some as young as 11 — who were forced to work as prostitutes. Most of the victims were girls and some said they were drugged with cocaine and ecstasy.

DeJesus is charged with traveling to the Bogota and Medellin areas of Colombia several times in the last few years to have sex with the girls. He was scheduled to return Oct. 24 for another visit, authorities said.

He is also allowed to avoid drug convictions and even just a fine for being an all around asshole.
