French police say they have finally found and arrested a man in Bordeaux who has been described as one of the top ten most wanted men in the world for sex crimes.
The 40-year-old was arrested near the southwestern city of Bordeaux last week.
He has been described by prosecutors as “one of the 10 most-wanted targets” of authorities fighting child sex crimes around the globe.
One of the prosecutors, Frederique Porterie, said the suspect also appeared to have taken “an active role in the production of child pornography pictures and videos.”
The man, who is yet to be named, was taken into custody and charged with incestuous rape of a minor as well as incestuous sexual assault of a 15-year-old.
Porterie says the man has admitted guilt to the charges.
French police and detectives worked alongside other nations and Interpol to catch the predator.
The man had posted images of children on the so-called “darknet” of websites that can be accessed only with specific software or authorisations, ensuring anonymity for users.
