John Walsh exposes children for sale in Cambodia

[November 13, 2010]  NEW YORK (AP) -- John Walsh has been hunting "America's Most Wanted" fugitives since 1988 when his show debuted on Fox. He goes undercover Saturday in Southeast Asia to investigate the sex trafficking of Cambodian children.

Walsh says he was shocked by what he saw, including a madam who offered his group children as young as 6 and 7 years old for sex.

Walsh says Western pedophiles travel east to Cambodia as international sex tourists, looking to have sex with children.

He said he knows the episode will be "tough to watch" but thinks its important to expose the issue.

So far, "America's Most Wanted" has captured 1,135 criminals in its 24 seasons.

"America's Most Wanted" airs Saturdays at 9 p.m. Eastern and Pacific time on Fox.
