A man accused of sexually assaulting a Pennsylvania college student in 2013 and then, years later, sending her a message that said “So I raped you” has been arrested in France, the authorities said.
The man, Ian Thomas Cleary of Saratoga, Calif., had been sought since 2021, when a warrant for his arrest was issued charging him with sexual assault.
Mr. Cleary, 31, was detained last month in Metz, France, according to the prosecutor’s office at the Metz Appeals Court.
The prosecutor’s office said that Mr. Cleary had been arrested in connection with a case involving the possession of stolen goods.
Mr. Cleary is still in detention, the prosecutor’s office said.
