The Ohio priest-in-training who was arrested last Friday accused of attempting to travel to Mexico to have sex with multiple infants allegedly posted an ad to Craigslist last year offering to pay $150 to babysit.

Joel A. Wright, who was busted in San Diego after communicating with an undercover Homeland Security agent online seeking help to arrange the rape of babies as young as one year, waived his right to a detention hearing and declined to seek bail Thursday, the Times of San Diego reported.

Wright, 23, had been investigated by police before, NBC4I reported.

Police in Steubenville, Ohio said Wright posted a Craigslist ad last year in which he offered to pay a willing family $150 to watch children.
