John E. Hamilton, 39, was arrested on Wednesday, August 25 by the Polish Border Guard as he attempted to cross into the Czech Republic, according to a Fairfax County Police Department Public Information Office news release dated Aug. 26, 2010.
Fairfax County Police, the U.S. Marshals Service and the U.S. Department of Justice are in the process of having Hamilton extradited back to the U.S.
Hamilton faces charges stemming from allegations of sexual misconduct that occurred between 1992 and 2008, police say.
Detectives assigned to the Fairfax County Child Services Unit worked closely with the U.S. Marshals Service and the Federal Bureau of Investigation on this intricate and extensive investigation, say Fairfax County Police.
According to police, deputies from the U.S. Marshals Service developed information on Hamilton that enabled Polish border guards to identify and apprehend Hamilton.
Hamilton will stand trial on two counts of aggravated sexual battery of a child, two counts of indecent liberties with a child, and one cont of crimes against nature with a minor.
These charges were filed with the Circuit Court of Fairfax, VA, on August 17, 2009.
Charges stem from allegations of a male victim, then 12 years old at the time of the offense, who came forward in 2009, after 12 years.
According to the male victim, police state in a June, 5, 2009 news release, "Hamilton engaged in inappropriate sexual conduct with him periodically, from March through July of 1997."
"One incident," the report also said, "occurred in the parking lot of Carl Sandburg Middle School, 8428 Fort Hunt Road."
That report also stated, "another [alleged incident] took place at Hamilton's home at that time, in the 6600 block of Wakefield Drive in the Belle View area."
"Hamilton," say police, "was a Little League baseball coach for the Fort Hunt Athletic Association at that time."
