«Breaking News» Fugitive teacher, 47, is arrested in Russia for 'raping disabled boy'

A fugitive American teacher has been arrested in Russia for allegedly raping a severely disabled nine-year-old boy in front of his mother.

Bjorn West, 47, was taken into custody after the woman described the suspect to police in St Petersburg.

She reportedly told police she saw him raping her son, who was born deaf and mute, meaning he couldn't scream for help.

West, who was working as an English teacher in a nearby Russian private language school for adults, has been on the run for six years after being accused of molesting two minors in his native Tennessee.

The devastated mother, who has not been identified, said she had taken her son to Dolgoe Lake in St Petersburg for a walk.

She was holding his hand as they walked, but the boy decided he wanted to run alone so she let go of his hand.

After turning her back for a few minutes, she lost track of the boy.

She said after searching for her son for 15 minutes, she found him off the beaten track being raped by the suspect, who then ran off when she yelled.

She called the police who identified the alleged attacker as West from her description, according to reports.

Officers arrested West in his apartment nearby and it was only after he was in custody that police learned about him being wanted in the US.

Police are now appealing for any other victims to come forward as they believe there may be more.

American authorities, who are working with their Russian counterparts, say West was last seen in the US in the summer of 2012.

US police say he is still wanted for at least two crimes against children under the age of 14 – one dating back to December 1989 and the other from June 1992.

Under Russian law, West could face up to 20 years behind bars for abuse against a minor.

But if more victims come forward, he could be looking at a life sentence if found guilty.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
