Caution:

Chaminda Prabhath Palliyaguru is wanted for his alleged rape of a six-year-old victim on March 7, 2020, in Franklin County, Ohio.

On April 21, 2020, an arrest warrant was issued for Palliyaguru in the Court of Common Pleas, Franklin County, Ohio, after he was charged with rape of a minor child, under the age of 10, and three counts of gross sexual imposition of a minor child, less than 13. On April 22, 2020, Palliyaguru was charged federally with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution by the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, Columbus, Ohio, and a federal warrant was issued for his arrest.

Palliyaguru was last seen in San Diego, California, near the U.S./Mexico border.

Thoughts? As of this posting date (May 20th, 2020), Palliyaguru is still listed as a wanted fugitive on the FBI website and was seemingly just added to the site yesterday.

We haven't had a crimes against children fugitive added to the site in a while, so while I'm sorry for the circumstances, it is good to get an addition in the category that will hopefully catch an alleged child predator.

Those photos obviously show Palliyaguru at an airport. I'm assuming perhaps he took a flight from Ohio to California since he was last seen in San Diego and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to think possibly onto his way to Mexico, but the FBI does not describe in the photos. Palliyaguru was born in Sri Lanka and does have ties to Anaheim in California so those may be possibilities as well.
