Wanted: Michael Robert Wiseman
Charges: Attempt to commit sexual exploitation of a minor
Michael Robert Wiseman fled the country after he was arrested for child pornography, but the judge let him out on probation and now he has skipped town again.
Police arrested Wiseman in February 2008, after family members found child pornography on his computers at home and at the Sylvan Learning Center, where he was co-owner. Wiseman admitted to police he downloaded pornography weekly, mostly images of children, according to court documents.
The court let him out on bond while awaiting trial as long as he wore an electronic monitoring unit.
But Wiseman decided he wasn't going to prison, and cut off the tracking device.
Police say the former airline pilot flew first to Mexico, then Paris, London and Spain where he was eventually arrested. Wiseman was extradited to Arizona, costing the U.S.. Marshall's office $10,593.
In January 2012, Wiseman was convicted on 3 counts of attempted sexual exploitation of a minor, but instead of throwing him behind bars the court gave him a lifetime supervised probation.
Now officials believe Wiseman has fled again. He stopped checking in with the Adult Probation Department and a warrant for his arrest was issued on April 8th, 2013.
If you have information regarding Wiseman's whereabouts contact police.
