One of the FBI’s top 10 most wanted fugitives was arrested in Spain on Wednesday after being charged with a slew of sex crimes related to his GirlsDoPorn website three years ago, according to local reports.
New Zealand national Michael James Pratt, 40, was caught by authorities after checking into a hotel in Madrid using one of his known false identities, El Español reports. On Friday, Spain’s National Police Corps released a video of the arrest on Twitter. While the agency did not name Pratt, it described the suspect as being a “New Zealand fugitive” in the FBI’s top 10 most wanted—Pratt is the only Kiwi currently on the list.
Pratt was added to the FBI’s list of its top 10 most wanted fugitives in September over his alleged involvement in sex trafficking and the production of child pornography. The agency was offering a $100,000 reward for information leading to his arrest on charges stemming through two porn websites GirlsDoPorn and GirlsDoToys.
