John Hartin is an alleged child molester who has been wanted federally since 1997. Below is the FBI profile description of his alleged crimes:
"John J. Hartin is wanted for allegedly abusing two young boys, approximately eight and nine years old, whom he had befriended in the Boston, Massachusetts, area in 1993. After being charged locally with five counts of statutory rape of a child, a federal arrest warrant was issued for Hartin on December 18, 1997, in Boston, Massachusetts, and he was charged with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution."
Before I get to thoughts here are a few more clues to whereabouts from an FBI podcast about Hartin:
-Hartin grew up in Dorchester, Massachusetts.
-It’s quite likely that he has a distinct Boston accent that would stand out to someone if he was in another part of the country.
-Hartin still has ties to the Boston area but may be living under an alias in Florida or California.
Thoughts? Agents fear he may victimize more children and I'd say those fears are valid since molesters usually don't stop. Hartin has plenty of ways he can find employment- security guard is a job you can get anywhere, and based on some of the ones I've encountered, I am highly suspect on how well they were background checked. However I feel it also should be noted he went to college for graphic and computer arts. A little bit of a different career path there but as someone who went to college for creative writing and journalism and wound up with a different job plus running a crime forum that doesn't make any money (but that's not what it's about and we have a lot of members!), I can't really talk too much crap about that.
In all seriousness, this man is dangerous. He's been allegedly abusing boys for over two decades. If you know where you is, you HAVE TO call the FBI.
Admin Note: In May of 2015, John Hartin was aired as a Public Service Announcement on the digital antenna channel Justice Network, therefore it has been moved to the fugitives on tv section.
