A child molester, Chester Yang, aged 73, fled to Asia after allegedly committing his crime at a University of San Diego campus church. He has been sentenced to 25 years in prison, as per the San Diego County District Attorney's Office. Yang was extradited from Singapore, facilitated by Interpol and U.S. federal authorities.
Mr. Yang managed, on a temporary basis, to evade the law, escaping nearly 7,000 miles.
However, local and international law enforcement agencies relentlessly pursued him, exhibiting a significant commitment to safeguarding children without considering geographical boundaries.
After the police interviewed his family, Yang ran off to Taiwan, where he couldn't be extradited. It's in such situations where the U.S. Marshals service plays a crucial role, here, connecting with Taiwanese authorities to get alerted if Yang left Taiwan.
It was in late May that Interpol brought to the attention of U.S. authorities that Yang had departed for Singapore, where he was arrested and extradited.
