A British doctor was caught in a sting operation attempting to fly to Alaska to have sex with a six-year-old boy, prosecutors allege.

John Felton, 45, was picked up at Ted Stevens International Airport in Anchorage having travelled from his US home in Boston to meet a man purportedly offering his son for sexual abuse, it is alleged.

But the "father" whom Felton is said to have contacted through an internet chat room called "littleboysexchannel" was an undercover agent.

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

    Are they sure he was a doctor and not a Catholic priest?

    Oh, you're right, he must've been a doctor. The Catholic church would have protected this man's identity and shielded him from "Man's Law."
