Police in Nicaragua have detained a former U.S. school teacher who was on the FBI's 10 most-wanted fugitives as a suspect in a child pornography investigation, authorities confirmed Monday.
Eric Justin Toth was detained Saturday in Esteli, a city near Nicaragua's border with Honduras, and will be immediately deported to the United States, said National Police chief Aminta Granera.

Toth taught third grade at Beauvoir, a private elementary school on the grounds of the Washington National Cathedral. He was escorted off campus in June 2008 after another teacher reported finding sexually explicit photographs on a school camera in Toth's possession. He had not been seen since he lost his job.
Toth was added to the FBI's most-wanted list in April 2012 for allegedly possessing and producing child pornography, giving him notoriety normally reserved for people sought in connection with violent crimes or terrorism.

(80,708 posts)In egregious, horrible crimes -like ones that involve hurting children- where they're sure they have the right person, I am inclined to think it's reasonable. At least, I understand it.
I don't care if that's not an acceptably "progressive" enough position.

Jesus H Fucking Christ, he is a school teacher, has sexually explicit photos on a camera that is school property, and the solution is to fire him?!
Mr. Toth is not the only one who should be in prison--I'd wager there is a lot more going on at that school that one guy. It is never just the "one guy".
And no DP. These predators should be locked up and studied. The focus needs to be on early detection and prevention, not revenge.

(25,812 posts)Do I detect a note of snark from the author, or am I reading too much into this statement? I'm seeing it as an attempt to trivialize what I consider a very serious crime that is fully worthy of FBI manpower and resources. At the link to ABC News in the OP, it's mentioned that Toth was put on the most wanted list with the likes of Osama bin Laden and Whitey Bulger, which seems like more of the same.
