One of the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted fugitives — Eric Justin Toth, a former D.C. teacher accused of producing and possessing child pornography — was detained by police in Nicaragua, sources said.
Toth was found over the weekend. He had rented a room in a small town near Managua, was using an assumed name and had a fake passport.
Nicaraguan National Police Chief Aminta Granera said he would be deported immediately because he was in the country illegally, the Associated Press reported.
Toth taught third grade at Beauvoir Elementary School on the grounds of the Washington National Cathedral.
On June 12, 2008, Beauvoir sent a letter to parents saying that a teacher was found in possession of a school-owned camera with inappropriate pictures of a boy. Sources said that pictures of at least three other boys being touched in inappropriate ways were on a thumb drive.
