Department of Justice press release: U.S. Attorneys » Northern District of California » News Share Department of Justice U.S. Attorney’s Office Northern District of California FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Friday, February 14, 2020 A 64-year-old man is being prosecuted in San Francisco for engaging in illegal sexual conduct with Vietnamese minors. Paul Marshall Bodner, a former substitute teacher, is alleged to have traveled to Vietnam multiple times between July 2015 through August 2016 for the purpose of engaging in illicit sexual conduct with minors in Ho Chi Minh City, the U.S. Embassy in Hanoi said in a Friday release. The indictment filed on February 13 followed an investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in partnership with Vietnam’s Ministry of Public Security. Details of Bodner’s arrest was not revealed. According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Bodner met Vietnamese boys as young as 11 or 12 years old and had sex with them at a hotel in HCMC. A U.S. federal grand jury has charged Bodner with three counts of travel with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct and one count of engaging in illicit sexual conduct in foreign places. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of 30 years imprisonment for each count, a life term with supervised release, and a fine of $250,000, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. "Strong collaboration between the Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) office in HCMC and Vietnam’s Ministry of Public Security have brought multiple child victims one step nearer to finding closure," said U.S. Ambassador to Vietnam Daniel Kritenbrink. "This arrest also underscores how the U.S. and Vietnam can work together effectively to combat child exploitation." The investigation and prosecution of the case is part of Project Safe Childhood, an initiative launched in May 2006 by the U.S. Justice Department to combat child sexual exploitation and abuse. The project brings together federal, state and local agencies as well as international law enforcement partners. Last August, special agents from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) arrested Christopher Edwin Day, 49, of St. Petersburg, Florida after he tried to entice two Vietnamese minors to engage in sex. Vietnam is a destination country for child sex tourism with perpetrators arriving from several continents, according to the United Nations Action for Cooperation Against Trafficking in Persons. An increasing demand for virgins and children in prostitution has also resulted in rising levels of child sex tourism, it said. Vietnam recorded 1,547 child sex abuse cases in 2018, down 2.8 percent from a year ago, according the Ministry of Public Security. Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, two Vietnam’s largest cities, took the lead in terms of reported child molestation cases.

02/21/2020 ICE Homeland Security Investigations makes child sex tourism arrest [Press Release] SAN FRANCISCO – Paul Marshall Bodner, 64, a former substitute teacher in the San Francisco Unified School District, was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Agents Feb. 13, on charges related to sex tourism in Vietnam. Bodner met Vietnamese boys as young as 11 or 12 years old and engaged in sex acts with them at a hotel in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, according to information presented to the court at his initial appearance Feb. 13. “It is reprehensible and illegal for American citizens to sexually exploit innocent children, not only within the borders of our republic, but anywhere in the world,” said HSI San Francisco’s Special Agent in Charge Tatum King. “Homeland Security Investigations will work with our foreign law enforcement partners to relentlessly pursue anyone involved in criminal behavior against children.” In an indictment filed on Jan. 30, and unsealed Feb. 13, a federal grand jury charged Bodner with repeatedly traveling to Vietnam to engage in illicit sexual conduct. The indictment charges Bodner with three counts of travel with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct and one count of engaging in illicit sexual conduct in foreign places, according to Northern District of California U.S. Attorney David L. Anderson. An indictment alleges crimes have been committed. However, all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Bodner was arraigned in federal court before U.S. Magistrate Judge Joseph C. Spero. Assistant U.S. Attorney Lina Peng is prosecuting the case with the assistance of Morgan Byrne. The prosecution is the result of an investigation by HSI. An HSI Task Force Officer from the San Francisco Police Department Narcotics Division assisted in the investigation and arrest of Bodner. The investigation was initiated after U.S. Customs and Border Protection encountered Bodner during his travels. “Stopping criminals at the border, especially those involved in crimes against vulnerable children, is one of the highest priorities of U.S. Customs and Border Protection,” said Brian J. Humphrey, CBP’s Director of Field Operations in San Francisco. “CBP works closely with all law enforcement agencies to bring to justice those who pose a threat to our community.” If convicted, Bodner would face for each count a maximum sentence of 30 years imprisonment, a life term of supervised release, and a fine of $250,000, plus restitution if appropriate. Anyone with information about Bodner or his alleged sexual interest in children should contact the HSI Tip Line at 1-866-DHS-2-ICE and ask to be directed to the case agent or by completing the online tip form. Both are staffed around the clock by investigators. From outside the U.S. and Canada, callers should dial 802-872-6199. Hearing impaired users can call TTY 802-872-6196. HSI encourages the public to also report any other suspected child predators and any suspicious activity. Homeland Security Investigations HSI takes a victim-centered approach to its child exploitation investigations by working to identify, rescue and stabilize victims. In fiscal year 2019, HSI nationally made nearly 4,000 child exploitation arrests, resulting in more than 1,750 convictions. HSI works in partnership with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) and other federal, state, and local agencies to help solve cases and rescue sexually exploited children. Suspected child sexual exploitation or missing children may be reported to NCMEC via its toll-free 24-hour hotline, 1-800-THE-LOST. For Internet safety information for educators, parents, and children alike, please visit https://www.ice.gov/topics/iGuardians to learn about HSI’s iGuardians program. This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse, launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and CEOS, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.
