Child Sex Suspect Nabbed
in Costa Rica
A Georgetown, Texas, man
wanted on allegations
that he sexually
assaulted a child in
Williamson County,
Texas, was found
in Costa Rica and is
awaiting extradition.
Richard Pate, 50, was
arrested Saturday in
Atenas, west of San
José, by authorities
after the U.S. embassy
revoked his passport.
He was deported Tuesday
night to Miami, where he
was detained by the Dade
County sheriff's office.
U.S. authorities learned
that Pate was in Costa
Rica in June 2006. The
Lone Star Fugitive Task
Force issued a federal
warrant, and Costa Rican
authorities found his
residency to be illegal
after his passport was
revoked.
