In a significant example of international law enforcement cooperation, Chinese police deported a U.S. citizen wanted for alleged child sexual abuse crimes back to the United States.
The operation occurred at Shanghai Pudong International Airport on July 10, following a request from U.S. law enforcement authorities. The individual, identified as Scott, was escorted back to the U.S. by the Diplomatic Security Service of the U.S. Department of State.
This deportation marks another achievement in law enforcement collaboration between China and the U.S., following the repatriation of two fugitives accused of severe criminal activities from the U.S. to China in June this year.
Scott had been on the radar of U.S. law enforcement since May 2014, when he was first accused of child sexual abuse. In October 2018, Interpol issued a Red Notice for his arrest at the behest of the United States. Following this, the Chinese public security institutions undertook investigative work, ultimately determining his whereabouts and legally detaining him in China. Further investigations confirmed that there were no instances of alleged child sexual abuse by Scott within Chinese territory.
A spokesperson from the Ministry of Public Security stated that this operation was part of a series of practical cooperations between China and the U.S. law enforcement agencies. These collaborations have been established following a consensus between the heads of state of both countries during their meeting in San Francisco. Areas of joint efforts include drug prohibition, illegal immigration repatriation, fugitive pursuits, and combating transnational crimes, highlighting a growing trend of international cooperation in law enforcement.
