Paedophile accused of rape and assault escapes extradition
Shawn Sullivan, who holds US and Irish dual citizenship, is accused of the rape of a 14-year-old girl and the sexual molestation of two 11-year-olds in Minnesota between 1993 and 1994. He is seen in the US as one of its most-wanted alleged sex criminals.
He fled to Ireland after the charges were levelled against him and met and married an Irish woman. In 1997 he got a suspended sentence for sexually assaulting two 12-year-old girls in Dublin while his wife was pregnant.
