- He has been placed under formal investigation and remand for rape and sexual assault of a minor, with investigators also examining possible abuse of a second adopted child.
- U.S. detectives accessed his email and found recent child sexual abuse material that depicts him, prompting French prosecutors to open a case.
- The United States has requested his extradition, which remains pending as the French judicial inquiry in Strasbourg proceeds.
- Wiseman previously cut an electronic monitor and fled after a 2008 arrest, was captured in Spain and extradited in 2009, pleaded guilty and was sentenced in 2012, then absconded again before relocating through Vietnam and Poland to France.
