West Virginia sex offender convicted after traveling to Mexico with intent of purchasing a child

A West Virginia man has pleaded guilty to failing to update his sex offender registration. Scott David Bixler did not contact authorities, as he is supposed to given his status, because he had traveled to Mexico with the intent of purchasing a child.

According to the Department of Justice, he sought to purchase a 7-year-old and was in possession of "two tranquilizer air guns, methamphetamine, a cell phone jammer, and $5,000 in cash." He had and managed to cross the southern border along with his wife, according to the DoJ, which charged him with the crime in September last year.
