Jonathan Tampico
Jonathan Tampico was an NAMBLA member convicted in 1989 of molesting boys. Tampico and three other men from San Francisco Bay Area were arrested in 1989 in an investigation that led to the conviction of 20 molesters across the state and nation. He was paroled in 1992 on condition of not possessing child pornography. After breaking his parole, he was found with the help of the radio program America's Most Wanted. He was arrested and convicted on child pornography charges.
Police investigating him found that Tampico, a former laser scientist, was a member of NAMBLA, and was running an orphanage in Thailand as a front for NAMBLA members to molest boys. Tampico and others traveled to Thailand in order to use boys at the foster home. The court was shown a number of Polaroid pictures, provided by Thai officials, depicting Tampico with young Thai boys sitting on his lap. The prosecution said the pornography found depicts hundreds of victims. [1] [2]
Tampico pled guilty to one count of felony child molestation – 27 counts of felony child molestation were dropped to one of the plea bargain agreement. He was required to report as a registered sex offender for the rest of his life.
It was reported that one of Tampico's victims still at the age of 21 had nightmares about what Tampico did to him. One of the victims of this gang went on national television (MTV) to speak out about child sexual abuse and NAMBLA. [3]
