The 45-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, fled the jurisdiction shortly before the jury was due to resume deliberations prompting a bench warrant to be issued and a multi-county search that has so far failed to locate him. After he fled the jury returned a majority guilty verdict on the two counts of sexual assault that he was facing during the trial which took place in June 2025.
