Recently, the Federal Bureau of Investigation
named a former University of Southern
California Professor as one of the 10 most wanted fugitives in America. The
Federal Bureau of Investigation has now announced that the man, Walter Lee
Williams has now been captured in Mexico.
64-year-old Williams was arrested in Playa
Del Carmen recently by Mexican authorities. He has lived extensively abroad, spending most of his years
in Polynesia and Southeast Asia.
He faces serious charges upon his return to
the United States. He now faces charges related to the sexual exploitation of
children, travel with the intent to conduct illegal sexual conduct, and
engaging in illicit sexual relationships in foreign places. The Federal Bureau
of Investigation says that it has identified as many as 10 victims who were
exploited by Williams. The victims are believed to be between
the age of 10 and 17. Many of these victims are believed to have lived in
foreign countries at the time that they were allegedly molested or abused by
Williams.
The Federal Bureau Investigation says that
Williams had very easy and convenient access to children, especially vulnerable
children who are highly at risk for abuse.
Many of the sex crime charges against
Williams are related to the collection of sexually explicit material involving
children. For instance, he is accused of going to the Philippines in January
2011, and committing sexually explicit conduct with young boys, after which he
took photos of these incidents with the boys. These photographs were then
brought back to Los Angeles County. He fled Los Angeles soon after he was
questioned by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
