A man who has remained a fugitive for 13 years has been arrested by the FBI after being uncovered working a scuba diving instructor in Cozumel, Mexico.
According to a statement by the Johnson and Somervell County District Attorney’s Office, Texas, Rogelio ‘Christopher’ Guadalupe-Gonzalez had been on the run since 2012 after being charged with Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child in both Johnson County and Tarrant County.
The Dallas branch of the FBI said in a statement that Guadalupe-Gonzalez was brought back to the US under an initiative called ‘Project Welcome Home,’ which ‘provides funding to assist in the transportation of FBI fugitives abroad back to the US, when the repatriation by the host country occurs through deportation or extradition.’
‘This arrest demonstrated our office’s unwavering commitment to pursuing justice – no matter how long it takes or how far a fugitive may run,’ said Johnson County assistant district attorney, Christy May.
‘We are grateful to our federal law-enforcement partners for their assistance in returning this fugitive so that he can finally stand trial.’
Guadalupe-Gonzalez is currently being held in custody with a $1 million bail bond for one of the charges, and a $50,000 bond for the second.
No information as to whom he was working for at the time of his arrest has been provided.
