Moroccan authorities arrested an American national fugitive and extradited him to the US this week, according to US media.
Patrick McKenner, 52, was recently arrested in Morocco at the request of US authorities, as last week, FBI and Justice Department investigators arrived in Morocco to extradite him.
The alleged pedophile was scheduled to appear before a court in May 2014, but he ran and disappeared into thin air before being located and arrested in Morocco, reports the Colorado prosecutor’s office.
In the United States, McKenner has been detained without the possibility of release on bail pending his trial.
On Saturday, McKenner was booked into the Adams County Jail, where he is being held without bond, the District Attorney’s office said.
He’s been charged with five counts related to sex assault of a child, five counts of child abuse, including sexual exploitation, physical abuse and breach of trust, and is scheduled Friday to appear in Adams County District Court.
