Social Media Text and Documents Show

: Court documents show Do — who was then 26 — began communicating with M.F., 13, of Calgary, in September 2013 when she posted online that she wanted to meet guys, according to The Waterloo Record. The two pursued their contact via social media and text messaging, and he asked her to be his girlfriend. Authorities in Santa Ana, Calif., said Paul Binh Do, 29, was taken into federal custody this week after signing a plea deal involving two charges: travelling with the intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct and being in receipt of child pornography. They also exchanged nude and sexually explicit photos and videos, and he persuaded her to engage in "prohibited sexual conduct," according to the agreed statement of facts in the plea agreement. Do, of Garden Grove, Calif., told immigration officials he was planning to visit another 22-year-old woman in Calgary he had met online, the documents show. Despite knowing her age, Do flew to Calgary in May 2014 to have sex with M.F. on what would have been her 14th birthday, but was arrested on arrival by Canadian authorities, who found explicit images of the girl on his computer and phones.
