The FBI says a man who taught English in Cambodia has been charged with traveling abroad to have sex with a minor.
Michael Dodd was returned to the U.S. Monday after being charged in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles in January.
FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller says Dodd was arrested by Cambodian police in October 2008 and convicted of having a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old girl.
Dodd admitted to an FBI agent he paid the victim's family $50 every two weeks so that he could visit with and eventually marry the girl.
He taught students between 13 and 45 years old, but he told agents that he was prohibited from teaching school in most places due to a previous sex offense.
