SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (KRON) — A San Francisco resident was arrested on sex tourism related charges, according to officials.
Paul Marshall Bodner was charged with repeatedly traveling to Vietnam to engage in illicit sexual conduct, U.S. Attorney David L. Anderson and Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent in Charge Tatum King announced Friday.
Bodner, 64, was a substitute teacher in the San Francisco Unified School District.
He allegedly traveled to Vietnam from July 2015 through August 2016 where he engaged in illicit sexual conduct.
