Child predator who fled US is convicted of rape in England
NORRISTOWN, Pa. — A child predator in Pennsylvania who vanished before his 2006 sentencing was convicted Wednesday in England of raping a 13-year-old girl.
Gerard Zalewski, 33, was sentenced in Lancashire to 12 years in jail, the Montgomery County District Attorney’s office said.
Zalewski groomed the girl over the internet and manipulated her into sending him explicit photos, police in Lancashire said. They say she met him in a park in June, where he subjected her to hours of sexual abuse.
