Thunder Bay police capture man wanted in the US

An Atlanta man, whom American reports say is wanted in connection with a plot to try to buy a 5 year old online, remains in custody in Thunder Bay. He was picked up Friday by city police at the Greyhound bus depot at the request of Canada Border Services. Border Services spokesperson Chris Kealey says officials have been in contact with the man. He says agency officers have interviewed him. He'll also be subject to a hearing to determine if he's considered criminally inadmissible to Canada under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. Police in Atlanta say 56 year old Patrick Molesti is facing charges that include sexual exploitation of a child, and criminal attempt to commit child molestation.
