NORFOLK, Va. The U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia said a Canadian man will spend decades in prison for sexually extorting hundreds of children.
Raj Parekh said it took law enforcement some years to extradite 36-year-old Marco Viscomi, of Canada, but officers were committed to bringing him to justice.
The case started in January 2012, when the father of two Virginia Beach children said his daughters had been made to record sexually explicit acts by someone they met online.
Parekh said the girls, then 13 and 17 years old, had been threatened. Viscomi was 26 years old at the time and a medical student.
