Fugitive on FBI's Most Wanted list arrested in Nicaragua: source

By Ian Simpson

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A former Washington schoolteacher on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list for alleged child pornography has been arrested in the Central American country of Nicaragua, a federal law enforcement source said on Monday.

The suspect, Eric Justin Toth, was arrested over the weekend, and U.S. authorities are seeking his extradition, the source said.

"We're in the process of getting him out of there," said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Toth, 31, had taught at a private school in the U.S. capital, and had also worked as a camp counselor. He has been on the run since the District of Columbia and Maryland issued arrest warrants in 2008.

Toth is alleged to have had a school camera in his possession in June 2008 that had pornographic images on it, the Federal Bureau of Investigation said on its website. He is also alleged to have produced child pornography in Maryland, it said.

"Toth has often been described as a computer 'expert' and has demonstrated above-average knowledge regarding computers, the use of the Internet, and security awareness," the FBI said.

It described Toth, who was added to the Most Wanted list in April 2012, as able to "integrate easily into socio-economic groups."

The law enforcement source said Toth had last been seen in 2009 at an Arizona homeless shelter where had briefly lived and worked as a volunteer. The shelter alerted authorities and Toth vanished, the source said.

Toth attended Cornell University for a year and then transferred to Purdue University, where he graduated with an education degree, the FBI said.
