Unfortunately I don't think it is even logistically possible at this point to have Eaton on the top ten list since you can't pressure a country to bring a fugitive back on charges that don't exist. (They exist here, but expired in the Netherlands). Fugitives like Semion Mogilevich, or ones hiding in Mexico, usually the debate isn't whether the charges apply there, it's simply a matter of the country just not really seeming to want to cooperate.
I think it's really just a matter of let this guy know every second of the day for as long as he remains in the Netherlands that he's an alleged child molester. Unfortunately not the same as actual punishment, but the best we can do at this point.

I will make sure to let it know if I have any new updates regarding this case. Unfortunately we don't have the same system in terms of pedophiles getting registred like in America. So there's no information about where he's staying at this point other than the province of Flevoland. Let's hope at least people who want to have their kids schooled at home are warned now. He did respond to Dutch crime website Crimesite claiming, again, he's innocent and that the FBI is lying. He says he became the victim of a conspiracy and has been set up by the FBI, only pleading guilty on advice from his lawyer. Here's a picture of Kent Eaton, unfortunately the website covered his eyes...  |

Because of the aforementioned CBS news coverage, I am moving this thread to the Fugitives on TV section. |

No it's understandable. Also things are crazy but I will try my best to actually view that video one day- in retrospect it was lazy to not try since there are free temporary VPNS on my cell phone lol. (I'm just too cheap to buy the professional ones lol).
But yeah this is one of those rare fugitive cases where it is not a mystery- we know EXACTLY where the fugitive is "hiding" but unfortunately nothing can be done. It's even worse here since other countries may acknowledge the person is wanted but doesn't want to send them back for a litany of bs reasons, but here the Netherlands apparently says the charges don't exist. Which is weird since otherwise they are considered one of the most functioning countries in Europe and thought of very positively- better health care etc... But yeah they dropped the ball on this one.

But yeah they dropped the ball on this one. According to Eaton’s FBI poster he’s also a citizen of the Netherlands too so that may also play a role. I Mean heck another example of a child molestor brought to the U.S. was Giuseppe Pino LoPorto, a Libyan born Italian citizen, who was captured in the Netherlands in 2010 and the extradition was denied by them and he was released, then he was captured in 2012 or 2014 in Italy and was brought back to the United States to face trial. |

Hi, I'm from The Netherlands and just only found out of this today. A Dutch journalist named Hettie Vos tracked this man down after a tip and confronted him at a bus stop in the province of Flevoland. As response to the accusations Eaton said it was all bull and claimed he was innocent. He told the journalist he fled America because he couldn't get a fair trial and told her 'they' knew he was living here since he moved to here in 1987. Not long after he cursed at the journalist and told some harsh things. The Netherlands can't arrest Eaton and extradite him to America as the facts are expired according to the Dutch law. The Netherlands and America have very specific treaties for extradition to America. Prescription plays a major role in this. If he travels abroad he'll have to look up the treaties between that country and America, but in The Netherlands he's 'safe'. According to Dutch media he lives across from a elementary school and still teaches music to kids. Let's hope he won't be that anonymous now his story is out. Here you can watch the confrontation Hettie Vos had with Eaton: www.gemistvoornmt.nl/aflevering/1290560-hart-van-nederland-laat-al-30-jaar-in-nederlandI finally viewed the video via a VPN. To be honest, as much as in my opinion Eaton is a scumbag running from the law, and by the way in this video they blurred his face, I'm not really a fan of "gotcha" journalism which apparently is just as prevalent in the Netherlands as it is in the U.S. They are basically asking for confrontation for the sound bite instead of at least giving the person a chance for a sit-down video where you may get more out of them or let the viewers decide if they are being manipulative or not. Eaton probably would have declined an in-person interview, but asking him beforehand should have been the first thing done. If he somehow accepted, then we could better decide whether he was being manipulative or not. Don't get me wrong in my opinion Eaton is full of b.s. and innocent people don't run. But any person guilty or not is probably not going to take too kindly to a stranger running up to them while they're minding their own business on a bench. As much as I think Eaton is a scumbag unfortunately getting away with his "alleged" crimes, this in my opinion was poor journalism. |

are there any updates? is this man deceased or did the fbi stop looking for him ? in case they are still looking, maybe we can help? the problem is logistics, and deniability. if those were to vanish, would the u.s. still be seriously interested ? the problem is extradition by the government. what if there was a n.g.( non government) that would take him in custody, and hand him over on u.s. soil?

Hi Dutchy as referenced earlier it appears that Eaton is living openly in the Netherlands and hiding in plain sight and unfortunately it appears the Netherlands won't extradite him because the facts are expired according to Dutch law. I don't know what else can be done other than asking Interpol to issue a warrant if he travels internationally, unless that's been done already. I'm not sure what you mean by non-government but what I just mentioned seems to be the only legal recourse to capture him or do some sort of publicity blitz to pressure Eaton's government to send him back. |

It appears Kent Eaton has been removed from the FBI website as of October 10, 2021, which isn’t surprising as he’s either been openly living in The Netherlands with no possibility of getting him, or he may have died within the last few years, but any clarification would be greatly appreciated.

I surprisingly did not see a PACER case against Eaton. I saw some sort of Virginia divorce case in 2000 against a Kent D. Eaton but not sure if it's the same guy.
Like you said it seems he's pretty much hiding in plain sight anyway unfortunately.

We can hope for the worst for him and that karma will get him of course. |
