Jeffrey Reed Parish, center, "appeared to know why he was being arrested" after 18 years on the run, according to the FBI.
LOS ANGELES - A California man who spent 18 years on the run from charges that he molested a four-year-old girl has been arrested in Guatemala and returned to the United States for prosecution, authorities said Tuesday.
Jeffrey Reed Parish, 65, was taken into custody by Guatemalan police without incident on Thursday at his home in Panajachel, about 90 miles from Guatemala City, said FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller.
Eimiller said the fugitive, who was living under the assumed name "Blake," did not resist and "appeared to know why he was being arrested."
He was deported back to the United States on Saturday, accompanied by an FBI agent and a Santa Barbara County Sheriff's sergeant, she said.
Parish had been scheduled for trial in Santa Barbara Municipal Court in March 1994 when he vanished. Officials believe that Parish may have molested other victims before his initial arrest, according to NBC station KSBY.
U.S. detectives looked at Parish's file in 2011 as part of a routine effort to solve cold cases, according to the LA Times. They sent out an "age-enhanced" picture based on a mug shot taken in 1994, the newspaper reported.
Investigators were assisted by the FBI's legal attache in San Salvador and the Transnational Anti-Gang unit of the Guatemalan National Police.
FBI Special Agent Ingerd Sotelo, who with a Santa Barbara County Sheriff's detective was credited with finding Parish, said the wanted man told her he had initially fled to Mexico but spent most of the past 18 years in Panajachel.
'He was just Blake'
Sotelo told Reuters that Parish traveled there after hearing that the small, picturesque town on the shores of Lake Atitlan was home to a large contingent of Westerners and had eked out a living by doing gardening work.
"Nobody there knew whether it was first name or last," Det. Ted Toedte of the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department told the LA Times. "He was just Blake."

Others may be charged on suspicion of helping Parish to remain at large, Toedte added.
Parish, who was accused of molesting a four-year-old girl in the beachside community of Carpenteria, near Santa Barbara, was expected to be prosecuted on the original charges of lewd acts on a child and oral copulation.
It was not immediately clear if Parish had retained a lawyer in California.

seems backwards for police to hide faces while arrested person looks normal and confident
mike
May have something to do with it.
Seems this guy could have been a great candidate for an accidental "misfire" during the arrest...
sorry accidental misfire? to many questions! shot while trying to escape! now thats old school.
just send him back and save money on the prison. California prisons are full and they have no were to put him anyway
4? I rather he were dead.
I will never understand what drives these sicko's, seriously 4 YEARS OLD!????!!!??? Yeah, he needed to be "put down" and not allowed to breathe our oxygen any longer. The world would not miss this cancer!
Castrate them with a dull butter knife. It is better then what would happen to them in Arab countries.
May pedophiles NEVER rest and forever need to watch over their shoulders. Pedophiles should never have peace of mind.
Scum this killbag!
Mr.PheaNiques-0000001- A misfire is when the gun doesn't go off when you pull the trigger. I think that you meant "accidental discharge."
So he likes little girls? Big deal.
A lot of people like sexually strange things, and they slowly become acceptable.
I'm sure this will become acceptable in society's eyes, once enough closeted pedophiles find their way into top-ranking positions in government and inudustry.
And then we'll have sympathetic laws and agendas rammed down our throats 'encouraging' us to accept them for who they are.
And then we will.
Good day to all.
@Talkdetalk
He likes little girls, big deal? OBVIOUSLY you have no children.
If society starts to accept raping a 4 year old child as "normal" I WILL go on a shopping "spree"...
@Dave. I have a 19 year-old daughter.
And guess what? the same things you are saying now, used to be said about homosexuality.
Do you know how many people supposedly went on shopping sprees after that one?
ZERO.
So save your money. :O)
What i wrote above was completely tongue-in-cheek and sarcasm, to illustrate my point that things that are unacceptable today, may not be unacceptable tomorrow...
Think about it.
Sympathizers are everywhere, and they enjoy nothing more than being able to ram their agendas down the throats of those with a differing opinion.
Good day all.
TalkdeTalk, I doubt that will ever happen. Given the way almost everyone says things like "he should be hanged" or "he should be castrated" when hearing about child molesters I just don't see it ever gaining any kind of acceptance. Also, if you're trying to liken it to accepting gay people then consider that the gays do what they do with each other and don't force themselves on children. It's a little easier to "live and let live" when no ones getting hurt.
Get a rope...from the hop scotcher's...pay back time...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mbBbFH9fAg
@Tim.
I understand completely what you're saying, and again i was using it only as an example.
I am not even considering consent. Because a seemingly deviant behaviour is a deviant behaviour nonetheless.
However, let's take a look at how the age of consent has been historically moved and adjusted based on societal acceptances at the time.
In the 1880s, in most places it was between the ages of 10-12, and in some places as low as age 7.
Then by 1920 in most places it was raised to between 16-18.
Even today it is still not uniform across the states.
In your state it may be 18, but what happens when your 16 year-old daughter crosses into a state where the age of consent is 16 and has a consenting sexual experience with a man?
How would you feel? In that case your acceptances wouldn't line up with those from a different state.
In Canada they recently changed the AOC from 14 to 16.
My point is things change all the time based on who screams the loudest and has the most/most powerful backers.
So we shouldn't be surprised by what happens.
But you're still using the term "consent". There's a world of difference between a 16 year old girl wanting to have sex with a 21 year old man, and a grown man molesting a 4 year old child!!! No one consents to rape or any other sexual abuse.
Sharon, you are wasting your breath. The poster is either a troll or a child molester.
You make a good point, Talkdetalk. Many deviant behaviors that defy God's plumbing are touted as normal now.
In the case of homosexuality if it defies God's plumbing, he forgot to inform some animals.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_animals_displaying_homosexual_behavior
When it comes to molesting children, it should be dealt with by the death penalty, but if sent to prison announce that no one is to harm the child molester, Blake, then sit back watch what happens.
Are you considering that you are an animal? Animals eat people.
I would prefer to wait for the evidence. A warrent doesn't require evidence.
@Sharon and @Ginny
You seem to have missed my point. My first post was simply to show how deviant behaviour can become 'acceptable' over time.
My second post was simply an illustration of that.
Since you're obviously having a difficult time with the word 'consent', let me make another attempt.
Currently the AOC where you are is what age? Let's say 16.
Is that to say that a 12 year-old can not give consent to something?
The only thing drawing the line between the two ages is LAW.
Law which has moved several times based on society's level of acceptance.
Get it now?
The reason la policia are hiding their faces is out of habit - they're used to dealing with narco trafficers - it's for their own protection.
If we ever reach that level of acceptance, God help us all.
@Sharon
I'm sure you say God help us every other day, as it is.
That means, these kinds of things are only a matter of time, public pressure and acceptance.
I shake my head every damn day at the downward spiral this entire planet is taking.
To Mr Talk. I understand where you getting at with your idea about aceptability but there is one thing that you fail to realize in terms of pedophiles. This will be one thing that will never be acepted in society for legal reasons. Homosexual unions are acepted because they fall under the facts that both parties are of age to consent. As long as both partners are able to verbaly, or in writing consent to the sexual act and are of legal age of consent; then it does not matter if they are both male or both female or otherwise. This is not the case with children. Children cannot nor will ever be considered to give consent because they always look at adults as having authority over them. As a minor the question always arises as to whether or not the minor actually consented because they wanted to, or because they felt they had to because the other party was an authority figure. Kind of like how when the government tells us to follow a law. Do we follow because we think it is right or do we only follow because they have the authority to enforce it? You can never be sure so to play it safe we simply have a law that says Minors cannot consent to sex. Some states vary in terms of legal consent. Most all States have a median age such as 16. Under that no matter what you cannot consent to sex; period end of story. Over that you may be able to if the older person's age does not exceed 4 to 5 years and so forth. Other states have consent set at 18 with no leway. It just depends upon where you live. This is why children, animals, corpses and the like will never become legalized even if society changes. As a child, animal, or corpse; you cannot give legal consent. This is fact and this fact will not change. The law will not change it's stance on it. That's the bottom line. Live Adults however; can consent as they will. The laws are not writen form moral perspective they are writen from logical conclusions. Moral perspectives cause the laws to be writen but they are not writen in terms of morality.
@Joe19981980
The only problems with what you wrote are the words "child", "children", "minor".
Again, the only thing defining those words are LAW. And the laws pertaining to them have moved, are moving, and with enough pressure from the folks with an agenda... will continue to move.
Once you can accept that, you will understand exactly, the message i am trying to convey.
A pedophile is only a pedophile as long as the LAW defines a particular age as being out of bounds.
And the ages we are seeing now as AOC, were only defined recently.
Just like a lot of other laws determining deviant behaviour.
He has been acussed, not found guilty. Just remember that folks.
Yes, and being on the run for 18 years should allow all of us to presume his innocence. NOT.
He was on the run for 18 years which isn't something an innocemt person normally does. He faces a diffuclt battle if he is innocent as a result of his decision to play hide and seek with the police.
Domewars - you got somethin' you need to confess?
@Dumbwars; thanks for my morning laugh!! you hitting on kids too! or are you just that stupid? oh wait, "acussed" mommy has you lunch box ready for day camp jackass!!!
Obviously he was guilty. He ran, and "knew why he was being arrested".
Really? Just LOOK at him, old white male, yeah he did it for sure! It's the typical thing for them.
"Acussed?"
He was caught in Guatemala, the Western Hemisphere's equivalent of Thailand. Ask yourself "why".
Who says he was running? The media did.
I doubt he admitted to being on the run. So let assumption number one die.
And the assumption that it seemed like he knew why he was being arrested was another gem apparently provided by an FBI agent who was quoting someone else.
Again, another assumption that should die.
You folks are incredible.
No wonder we have terrible jury decisions in this country.
We apparently have a population of people who have a difficult time discerning fact from speculation and assumption.
We are truly doomed.
commentingbecauseican
So you are saying it is typical for old white men to rape 4 year old girls? What kind of irresponsible and irrational comment is that? You must be bitter that no old white men pay attention to you. Lay off the meth and maybe someone will.
domewars may be onto something...ya'll remember's O.J. the california jury said innocent...where his trial at...california...big ole california howdy to ya'll...
"Really? Just LOOK at him, old white male, yeah he did it for sure! It's the typical thing for them".
What a stupid thing to say. So in your eyes ALL older white males are pedophiles? Really now? Just look at you! Yo mama probably had to tie a pork chop around yo neck to get the dogs to play with you when you were a kid!
He failed to appear for his trial. A bench warrant was issued for his arrest. He thereby legally became a fugitive from justice which, by definition, means he was on the run.
If the media reports that I am male, and I don't admit it, must the assumption die?
If the Founding Fathers had known that people possessed of such "logic" as yours would be allowed to vote, they would have begged George III to take the country back.
According to TalkdeTalk, he would let child molesters go free if he were on the jury..... because in the future it will be socially excepted?? Get a freaking clue dude! You sound as bad as the people that have or are going to jail for this. I am sure your 19 year old daughter would agree with the comments you are posting about child molestation.
After the comment from commentingbecauseican, maybe just maybe this is why he is on the run. Old white men don't stand a chance in a court of law when people automatically assume one is guilty because they are a white male accused of such a crime.
Ha Ha Ha pevert your going ta jail. Once again justice will be served.!!!!!!!
Right on Big Daddy. Enjoy prison you A**hole perv.
If its true, he can go rot in hell.
Hopefully other inmates will know of his heinous acts and justice will be served,savage.
Unfortunatly pedophiles are not put in with the general population and are protected in prison. This procedure should be changed and they should be put in with the general population, there would be alot fewer pedophiles out on parole.
he will be put in solitude, because if he were put in population, he would surely be killed and/or tortured...which he deserves.
It´s plain and simple! He is caught and the victim is grown so the question remains is he guilty. He had the chance to resolve this in court 18 years ago but apparently was guilty or he wouldn´t have ran. Now his victim is grown up and is more able to testify as an adult regarding what happened to her as a child and if it´s true she will have no problem remembering what happened since children don´t easily forget things like that. Since he fled the country then the feds have to attach their charges felony flight to avoid prosecution so he gets to go to two big houses before getting released. More than likely there will be victims in the countries he visited but more than likely a more grave image of him may never be exposed. Sicko´s like him never stop. They just hide their next victims for good. Maybe he thought he was being arrested for those victims and everyone presumes that he knew that he was being arrested for the victim here. Also about the gays not pushing themselves on children is a incorrect statement because a large number of homosexuals are victims of sexual abuse as children. Should this guy be hung? Not according to the Supreme Court-death penalty cannot be imposed for cases without a homicide. Read the Talmud and you will see why Jews rape children. Look at Islam where they marry children. Look at Matthew 18 and see where Jesus supports the death penalty for exploiters of children and he is recognized in Islam as a prophet. You don´t get any lower than this type of scum and the world shall perish due to our failure to get rid of them. Instead they are protected above any offender of the law. Don´t believe me beat one up.
For all the crap white people say about blacks, hispanics and asians. White people (men and women) will never stop there child molesting ways it is really in there DNA. Like the man that fathered 8 babies by his daughter starting when she was 13 years old and her mother stayed with him.
Yes, because only white people molest children. Smitty, you sure are defensive of black people, who have a higher crime rate than any other race in the United States. Ahhh, no wonder you're so defensive. Also, could you please learn the difference between their and there?
hey "smitty" -
what about the man - who had THIRTY children - with different women - and married one of his children? Since he is black, he gets a free Pass - as a degenerate - in yr book?
73% of black babies are born to unmarried mothers. US law does not permit women to marry their brothers or fathers.
methinks daddy and brother been hittin' dat @!$%# straight up.
and you want to turn this into a race issue why? just trying to drive that wedge in a little more. jackazz
Yes and most of the murders happening in Chicago are committed by blacks killing their own kind. So we should lump all blacks into this category too then by your way of thinking. All whites are molesters and all blacks are murderers. See how good your way of thinking is? What a bigot.
Hey Smitty, how about learning proper english, it may help others understand what you are trying to get out there and also makes it look like you are actually educated...that is until you start spewing garbage like "white people this..." because that places you into the racist category.
So, go back to your trayvon martin shrine you have in your basement, you know the one next to the rodney king memorial, next to the jesse jackson poster, next to the louis farakhan photo...... and keep believing that the problem is what you believe it to be, oh and please make sure you keep complaining about the madatory drug screening before you are allowed to pick up a unemployment check as well. You need to keep up with your hobby and all.
Seriously, stop stealing our oxygen and get back into your basement
And we have Fred the magic racist troll this morning. Couldn't wait for that opening could ya freddy? Instead of chastising the one who brought race into this ( as anyone with some common sense would have) you and your fellow racists decided to jump right into that sh!thole.
First off there is no magic formula for pedophiles, they are what they are and they come in all shapes sizes and colors. Second, if you are going to post drivel please learn how to spell or use the spell-check feature. Smitty, please take that trolling somewhere else, it is unnecessary and unwarranted here.
and all blacks are pimps and ho's and spread the aid's virus? What does race have to do anything with this story. He is probably catholic. LOL
they are even moving to canada and killing people there. (blacks) Where-ever they go bad luck just seems to follow-not. It's in their DNA.
I find this back an forth banter hilarious.
Black people were the first murderers or pimps or hoes?
Who knows who the "firsts" were???
The only thing we know as being fact is that the degenerates in our society come in every single ethnicity found on the planet.
You idiots who seem to create arguments based on one race doin something really need to off yourselves.
You are truly standing in the way of progress.
And we wonder why the US is on a pant-seat slide into oblivion. It is because of idiotic thinkers like those found posting such tripe.
WE ARE DOOMED.
you are so stupid...everyone black, white, Hispanics, aliens, green, orange people can be a molester...@!$%#n wake up and smell the roses,,,,I only hope that every molester is hung and killed...that should be the new law for everyone in every country...molesters have far gone away with their sick minds and molestations too long...if you are a law maker reading this...you need to change the law to kill or hang a molester because they will never be cured and will do it over and over again...
Lay off Smitty everybody. Don't you know only white people can be racist.
Uh...TalkdeTalk? Are you suggesting things were better in the U S when we had outright and accepted racism as LAW?
You may have a point here--- about the behavior being in the DNA. I believe that if a certain type of behavior is carried through enough generations, the DNA is altered to make this a trait which one is born with. It also helps with the behavior of these offender's actions if the environment when they were toddlers was one of sexual abuse. I am NOT defending them, mind you, but in order to understand this more, cause and correction is a good way to start eliminating this kind of behavior from our present-day society. Just eliminating them does not help with prevention. Sex offenders come in all races and genders. There is no discrimination there. California has some of the strictest laws regarding sex offending. In fact, the one who initiated the laws--- Governor (at the time) Arnold Schwarzenegger--- had over 100 complaints lodged against him for groping and unwanted advances with women. Over half of the offences he committed would have been a registerable crime to the average citizen. But, being who he was, he offered a public apology to all that he may have offended, and that was the end of that. It depends on who you are. It is hardly fair that if a youngster who is 19 years old has a partner who is 17, and the 17 year old's parents insist on prosecuting the 19 year old on a statutory rape charge--- which results in lifetime registration as a sex offender. This person gets catagorized the same as a baby-raper, and will never gain good employment for the rest of their life. The laws are simply too black-and-white. All the eggs are put into one basket. It would be interesting to see just how many people who have not been arrested and convicted for sex crimes actually have committed a crime which by today's laws would make them register as a sex offender. The numbers may be shocking in their size.
Alex....let go of the grammer.
Smitty, Your comments are wrong. It is certainly not in MY DNA. About the perv that had kids with his daughter? That was a totally insane story about a man in Europe. I think you're upset about something else.
whiKKKe ameriKKKan males what the phuck is up with you guys and children damn. Get a grip or just cut the lil fella off.
And what is up with blacks killing blacks damn... See post above.
seriously ybp1030? You seriously need to get a hobby and stop trying to act like you are someone else. It is quite apparent that you are trying to type as if you are someone else so no one else can figure out who you are, perhaps? Well, in any case, you still do not deserve to comment on anything of value because you ultimately poison others' days by commenting at all. Read it slow, read it twice and then you might understand. Maybe draw pictures...... seriously.
Check statistics and then make a comment..
A California man who spent 18 years on the run from charges that he molested a four-year-old girl has been arrested in Guatemala and returned to the United States for prosecution...?
*
I wonder how many pedophiles have entered the USA - illegally - to escape justice - from other countries - since Obama and Holder refuse to control, close and enforce our US Borders - at the US Borders -
in spite of their "flawed" gunrunning operation = Operation Fast and Furious ?
I wonder how many more children he molested in Mexico and Guatemala especially since there are so many poor people living there.
Stop watching Faux News.
if people stop watching fox how will they get the news?
Well he entered their country without permission and I'm sure alot of people on the run do it more than we know, we just have to catch up with them.
and you libtards need to stop watching and believing your heros Bill Maher and Jon Stewart
Right, like all 12 million illegals have come here since Obama has been President. Get a grip!
What is your problem with Bill Maher? To smart for you? You Republicans are the ones who give these guys all of their material. These guys you mention are comedians. They make jokes. You must be jealous because all you have is Rush, Hannity, and all of the other Fox News pigs who are not comedians and who constantly spew garbage and lies and call it facts. Big difference sir.
FinaBiscotti and Seewhat I mean188, he's an "american citizen" probably living illegally in Guatemala. You guys obviously can't comprehend what you read. And I wonder how many children in Guatemala were raped by this monster, people like him should be put to death on the spot they can't be re-habilitated. BTW, you two misinformed individuals need to get a life and stop listening to faux news. You people are so pathetic that if Rush and Glen tell you that dog food is good for your health you will eat it, too. These are millionaries telling poor and middle class people to turn against each other because it's their neighbors fault the country it's is such a mess not them (like Rush and Glen) and their filthy rich buddies.
Operation Flat and Frivilous...
smitty03281964 and ybp1030-The article isn't about a race. It is about a man who molested a 4 year old child and has been running for 18 years. It sickens me when 'people' change the subject in order to continue their bigotry, play the blame game and act as if they are the victim. GROWN UP.
ALL RACES HAVE HAD PEOPLE MOLEST CHILDREN.
I wanted to do as much research as I could find on the subject of pedophile. There is not that much out there. Is the scientific community not interested in doing something about this epidemic?
This appears to be an epidemic, yet all the big money was poured into AIDS and other just as important and in my opinion MORE important research has never been done.
I believe this is a medical mental condition. I also believe it has always been as prevalent as it is today.
The only thing is with today's new methods of taking this condition serious, and news coverage, it is not more of this, but that we had never heard of the problem because it has never been faced head on until this past 10-15 years.
It was the family secret hiding in the closet because it was diagnosis and given a lot of other names just to hide the real problem.
Well it's the 21st. century and it's time to looking at this like the mental illness it really is. We have had no success dealing with it in all other ways. It's time to find a new avenue to go down.
It's time the government starts pouring money into this problem to protect our children. We already know how AIDS can be prevented. It's long past time to take care of this problem.
I think this is a matter that our society can find a quick & immediate answer to solving this problem by getting ahold of the gentlemen that beat to death the sick S.O.B. in TX a few weeks ago that sexually assaulted his little girl. I really am assured that sick bastard will never assault a child again.
I agree, there isn't much research done on pedophilia. The focus has generally been on the victims, occasionally on recidivism. I suppose one of the problems is getting the funding, another would be getting subjects for the study.
this is the newest money pit that Americans are willing to dump money into, yes the Police receive and allegation then the machine starts, and once started it turns into a frenzy, there are experts hired that answer to the court, are they independent ? remember they answer to the Court, meaning if they do not give the answer the Court wants their report and services are never heard of again, the American family consist of Mom who gabs on a cellphone from morning until evening about sex, and sexual partners while the child plays with toys and listens to the sexual exploits of Mom, Dad if there is a Dad, fears that Mom will be experimenting with the postman, so Dad talks about his sexual exploits hoping to appear like a good caught, while the child grows up in this insecure environment, the child starts looking for security and validation, when they can not get it from the parents so this introduces strangers to the modern family and all remains well until the kid says I want attention. we are doomed.
truepat...Really, I never heard my mom and dad speak of their sexual exploits over the phone or in any other context, and I never, ever spoke of this subject in front of my child! Just unbelievable.
You must have had a very happy childhood.
Their is no bigger monster than a person that does harm to a child. Nothing but a piece of @!$%#. Who knows how many children this @!$%# had contact with in Guatemala. Hang him high.
It's horrible to think what else coulve happened over there. People over here don't care. They think folks in South America are below human standards, this is terrible......
While I agree with your sentiment, Mountainbike, your use of the English language is terrible. Their should have been there.
Big hands little i phone my apologies .
Seewhat - How would you know "people over here don't care" what might have happened over there? That is a stupid thing to say. It is not the fault of the people in the U.S. if things happened over there and they either didn't catch him or "they" didn't care! We do not police the world, you know! The only thing the U.S. can do is get him for what he has done here - and they have done that! At least that will stop any further damage this creep could do to any children here in the U.S. or in Guatemala!
why not try him using american law and then imprison him in guatemala? i am sick and tired of my tax dollars funding these criminals' lives for the next 50 or so years. the only thing this arrest does is put more burden on the taxpayer. wtf. this makes no sense.
Ah, maybe because he hasn't been charged with any crime in Guatemala?
Umm, and maybe protect other 4 yr olds from being molested?
I'm sad that you consider that a waste of your tax dollars.
If he's convicted he won't last 18 days in prison.
and what exactly do you think happens to these guys when they get to prison, hangings, torture, beatings, you need to watch more movies your reality is to animated.
1 TRUEPATRIOT, Yashbundi might be a little confused but Yash has hope that this guy will get it in prison. Nothing wrong with having hope that this piece of @!$%# gets his ultimate end in some violent prison.
IF he makes it to prison, he will be not be put in the general population because of prison justice. Too bad.
You gotta love the people who broadcast their ignorance. The general prison population doesn't think much of child molesters, as there's a much higher percentage of people who were molested when they were young in prison than the general outside population.
Thanks for showing the world both your inability to think as well as your pitiful education. Now go back to watching Faux News, so you can remain the most misinformed people in the world.
Good luck mountainbike8265 ever getting a job that requires a urine test. Stoners are the biggest bunch of losers going.
Yash Budini i have my MBA and I'm a CEO of a company azzhole.
You may be a CEO but you're still a stoner, a useless drain on society overall. Making money doesn't change that. Your dealer makes money too, just another bottom feeder. The only positive is you'll never inflict as much damage to the country as your typical Wall St banker.
It doesn't matter at all if he was black, white, or purple. This $hit has to stop!
I feel so sorry for his victim because she is 22 not 4 now and his attorney will be able to cross her like he never would have been able to had this bottomfeeder stayed around for trial. Hope he takes a plea.
Even though she's 22, how can his attorney cross, she was only 4 when it happened.
Too bad he is not a Hollywood Director. Then the media would hail him as a hero.
A molester with a last name of Parish? Classic. The clown got caught because he was taking the gardening jobs away from the locals.
They are those that will argue that murder, rape, or child molestors who stay on the run for a period of time should not be chased to the corners of the world. I could not disagree more. People who hurt other people need to know that their is nowhere to hide, no where you won't be hunted, no safe haven for you. You may elude for a while but one night that knock at the door will come and you know this knock is different than all other knocks. Good Job FBI and foreign police agencies. Justice does not always get it's man or woman but it never gives up trying. So all you wanted thugs I hope you enjoy living life in fear, paranoia, and looking over your shoulder because Justice wins more often than she loses. Good Day, and Good Job, Joe.
18 years, well that's about how long it took to find Sandusky and he was simply hiding in the Penn State football locker room. it's all about who you know- know what I mean?!
You mean Penn St shower.
Well, the best we can hope for is justice. I use the word justice loosely because we all know that justice is seldom dealt in the most appropriate fashion. The accused will get his day or two or 365 in court, and if found guilty he will most certainly spend the rest of his life in prison using our tax dollars to eat, drink, watch TV, have access to exercise equipment and letters from those that support him and maybe even a woman who thinks he is cute.
Our laws are too lenient, punishments are not fitting the crime. The Death penalty needs to be reinstated in every State and those that are found guilty of hurting another human need to be given this final punishment for the crimes they commit. A minimum of 30 days till execution up to 6 months and that's it. No more allowing the scum to sit on our dime.
Agreed. I say castrate the sack of @!$%#, to make sure he doesn't do it again and then a quick year on death row for appeals followed by a timely execution.
When they nabbed Roman Polanski, Hollywood came rushing to his defense, saying that it was years ago and the victim is an adult now, proving Hollywood has no moral integrity whatsoever.
Will we see that same level of support here?
Give him death, carried out by slaps across the face.
I'm not in anyway supporting this person, but what about the statute of limitations? Doesn't that apply here? Does anyone know California law on this?
I believe that applies to crimes that have not been charged. If he had a court date he was indicted for the crime and, therefore, the statute of limitations does not apply. Any California lawyers want to comment?
You are correct. That's what happened to Polanski. He was supposed to come to court to be charged, after many talks and delays. That's when he left the country. He was about to be indicted, but he left. That made him a fugitive from justice, and they could chase him for the rest of his life to bring him to justice.
If we spent half as much time going after crooked wall street stock brokers and bankers etc as we do going after child molesters the world would be a better place.
That is the most ridiculous statement I have ever heard!
