Overview
- French authorities took Wiseman into custody on Nov. 1 in Kilstett and charged him with rape and sexual assault of a minor under 15.
- Scottsdale police and the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office obtained a provisional arrest warrant through the DOJ Office of International Affairs in September, leading French officials to confirm his location.
- Detectives accessed his email in late October and found what they believe is new child sexual abuse material, which was shared with FBI Phoenix and AZ ICAC and reported to French investigators.
- Wiseman had previously fled U.S. supervision, cutting off an ankle monitor in 2008, being arrested in Spain in 2009, sentenced in 2012, and later absconding while on probation under the alias Robert Danilewski.
- Authorities say he will remain in French custody on the local charges before expected extradition to the United States when French proceedings allow.
