American Pedophile Wanted by FBI Arrested in Alsace After Alleged Child Sexual Abuse

An American man, wanted by the FBI for years on charges of pedocriminality, was arrested on November 1 in Kilstett, near Strasbourg in the Alsace region of France. The 51-year-old suspect, who had been living in France under a false identity for over a year, is charged with the rape of his adopted 10-year-old son and is currently under investigation for the possible abuse of his other child, aged eight. \n\nThis man has a long history of evading law enforcement across multiple countries. Initially arrested in the United States in 2008 for child exploitation, he escaped while under electronic monitoring. He was arrested again in Spain in 2009, later extradited back to the U.S. where he was convicted in 2012. Following his sentence, he fled again while on parole, living in various countries such as Vietnam and Poland before settling in France. \n\nHis arrest resulted from remote access by American investigators to his email accounts, which led to discovery of videos depicting his criminal acts. These findings allowed French authorities to indict him locally. Officials have emphasized that without persistent efforts to locate and extradite him, this evidence of abuse might never have surfaced.\n\nThe suspect had established a business in France with his wife, whom he met during his time in Vietnam. His arrest has caused shock and concern among local parents in the Alsace region since the revelation of his identity and charges.\n\nThe investigation remains active as authorities seek to clarify the full extent of the abuse and ensure justice is served.
