Shuhel Mahboob Ali was arrested in Florida
A British man has been arrested by police in Florida who claim he flew to the US to have sex with an underage girl and then raise their children as sex slaves.
Shuhel Mahboob Ali allegedly made contact via the internet with an undercover investigator from the Brevard County Sheriff's Office in January.
He is said to have told the agent of his plans.
"As part of the relationship, the suspect allegedly wanted to impregnate the victim, whereupon he would be able to groom the children to be abused by the suspect from the time of birth," a police statement said.
The police said the 39-year-old travelled from London last Saturday and was detained as he went to meet the young girl.
Ali is currently in the custody of the US Marshal's service in Orlando, facing a charge of attempting to persuade a minor to engage in sexual activity.
If convicted, Ali faces life in prison with a minimum sentence of 10 years and a fine of up to $250,000 (£163,000).
