Arthur Leland Sayler
Arthur Leland Sayler was caught by Mexican federales on Monday. They consider him one of the most dangerous pedophiles in the world.
Investigators accuse Sayler of running a hi-tech child porn ring throughout Mexico, Canada, and the United States.
On Thursday night, masked federales stood watch in front of Sayler’s beachfront Tijuana home. They confiscated 15 hard drives from his house, allegedly containing more than 4-million images and videos of children involved in horrendous sex acts.
Agents also impounded Sayler’s truck with California license plates.
Sayler’s neighbors say he’s lived in this house for the past 20 years.
Filiberto Gomez was Sayler’s neighbor.
“We never believed he was doing something like that. He acted well. He walked around here and minded his own business.”
Investigators tell us Sayler traveled to San Diego daily, repairing computers.
Now the Canadian -born man may be facing charges in the United States and Canada.
Sayler’s neighbors say their children would go inside the suspect’s home to visit him and his wife.
“We worry for the children around here, because there are a lot of kids around here,” said Gomez.
Sayler will be transferred to a Mexico City high security prison. If convicted in Mexico, he faces life in prison.
There is a chance he could be extradited to the United States to face charges here.
