Incredible story of American supercop who’s rescued more than THREE THOUSAND girls from tourist pedophiles in Colombia- as his daring feats are revealed

A Wyoming man has made it his life’s mission to help save girls in Colombia who have been victims of sex trafficking.

Tyler Schwab first encountered sex trafficking during a two-year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Dominican Republic.

He started noticing a lot of young girls with older men, but didn’t think much about it until he took a human trafficking seminar at Utah State University.

“It was an injustice I couldn’t ignore,” Schwab said Cowboy stands daily.

In 2014, he founded the nonprofit organization Libertas International, which has rescued more than 3,000 girls from tourist pedophiles in Colombia.

“Colombia is a very beautiful country for tourists, but over time we have had an influx of sex tourism, especially after the pandemic,” Schwab said.

“There were children, especially young girls, who reported being abused by American tourists.”

Major Johan Aldana of the Colombian National Police told Cowboy State Daily that sex tourism is increasing in cities such as Medellin, Cali, Cartagena and the provincial capital, Bogotá.

In 2023, there were 1,259 possible cases of sexual exploitation of minors in Bogotá, Colombia, 60 percent more than the previous year, the Associated press reported.

About 1.4 million tourists visited the country last year, while crime and violence have declined under the leadership of the infamous Pablo Escobar.

Many of those tourists were Americans, and although Escobar has been dead for more than thirty years, the culture of prostitution he normalized has remained in the country.

In January, a 19-month-old girl was rescued by Schwab and his team after former NYPD officer Agmad Beharry, 46, sexually exploited her.

The little girl is the youngest survivor the nonprofit has rescued.

“We are committed to supporting this survivor as she grows, learns to speak, etc.,” Libertas International said in a Facebook post.

Beharry, along with his accomplice, Gisainet Cristina Chirinos Viloria, was also accused of sexually exploiting photos of a nine-year-old girl, the… The US Attorney’s Office said.

After his arrest, Beharry, who was assigned to the NYPD’s Terrorism Unit, was suspended without pay and charged at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Manhattan with one count of sexual exploitation of a child and one count of possession of child pornography.

On April 3, Federico Gutiérrez, the mayor of Medellín, imposed a temporary prostitution ban after an American man was found with two Colombian teenagers, ages 12 and 13.

Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro has also been involved in efforts to reduce prostitution in the country.

One girl, who goes by the name Milagros, recently encountered sex trafficking, and thanks to the help of Schwab and his nonprofit, she was able to get the help she needed.

A police officer gave her Schwab’s information in a written note after she and three other women were violently assaulted by an American man.

With his support, Milagros testified at her abuser’s trial in U.S. federal court in May 2023.

She is now studying to be a social worker at school and runs a small business from home. She dreams of working for the nonprofit one day.

Michael Roberts, 41, a Texas teacher who worked at an all-girls school, was subsequently charged with illegal sexual abuse of minors and sentenced to seven years in U.S. federal prison.

Operation Archangel was launched last year, when Liberates International, Colombian law enforcement and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security worked together to take down more American sex tourists.

Since the start of the operation, more than a dozen men have been arrested and thirty open cases are still pending.

Just last week, a Miami pharmacist was arrested at an airport when he tried to board a flight to Bogotá to have sex with minors aged 10 and 12.

In exchange for $300,000 in Colombian pesos, about $77 U.S. dollars, the man abused children and promised them iPhones if they “didn’t cry.”

Another predator, MMA fighter Jaymes Schulte, was also arrested and charged in November on suspicion of sex trafficking and distributing illegal videos involving victims as young as 13.

To make matters worse, many girls are exploited by family members in exchange for money, Aldana says.

“From a professional point of view I have worked with organized crime and drugs, but sexual exploitation is such a different story because they are real people,” he said.

“These are girls who have had a horrible life and they are blameless victims who are being exploited.”

He and Schwab both agreed that many of the perpetrators are white-collar professionals with no criminal records.

“They come here with their money and their white skin and believe they can find the most vulnerable girls in the country and use them as sexual objects,” Aldana said.

Schwab called the tourists “hidden monsters.”

“Many of these people are professional law enforcement officers, teachers, taxi drivers, pharmacists, ex-military, bankers, etc. They have no criminal background here in the US, but when they travel they turn into the worst kind of monsters that bring real horror to vulnerable children around the world,” Schwab said.

Despite the alarming rate of sex trafficking, both Schwab and Aldana are confident their work will continue to make a difference.

‘We will find you. It is only a matter of time, and now we have strategic partners,” Aldana said.

In addition to them, Libertas International has a large team of people who help save helpless girls, including a ‘Survivor Board’.

Schwab said once a girl is rescued, she receives continued assistance and care from Libertas International.

He recently received the prestigious “Shield of DIPRO,” the highest award an American can receive, from the Colombian government for his great work.
