An Ohio priest-in-training who tried to travel to Mexico to have sex with infants has been sentenced to 16 years in jail.

Joel Wright, 23, pleaded guilty in April to attempted enticement of a minor, admitting he posted an ad to Craigslist seeking children as young as one year old to molest.

He offered any willing family $150 to babysit their child in 2014.

When a mother in Tijuana, Mexico, responded, he told her wanted to adopt and have sex with her baby. He added that he had bought an outfit for the child to wear and infant pain relief medication.

In February 2016, Wright, a former student at Franciscan University, then traveled to meet the mother – who had alerted authorities and handed over her Craigslist account to federal agents.

When he landed in San Diego he was arrested.

And on Friday, he was sentenced to 15 years and eight months in prison – a stretch from the 10-month sentence his attorney recommended.
