Tomkins Cove man accused of promoting sex tour

A Tomkins Cove man has been accused of organizing sex tours to the Dominican Republic where companions could be made available, the District Attorney’s Office said today.

The man, 49, was arrested yesterday at his home where authorities executed a search warranted and confiscated several computers, the district attorney said. He was charged with two counts of felony third-degree promoting prostitution.

This is the first case authorities are trying under the revised 2007 Human Trafficking Legislation, which clarified that selling travel-related services for the purpose of prostitution is a felony, the district attorney said.

The man, who authorities identified as a day trader, has been linked to an advertisement on craigslist.com for “Hot and erotic trip to paradise” that offered monthly excursions to the Dominican Republic with vacation packages offering room, liquor, meals and a companion or companions for the week, officials said.
