Convicted Child Molester Psychiatrist Captured, being returned to USA

As seen in this report

A convicted child molester who skipped out on his parole last year will arrive at Newark Liberty International Airport this morning under armed escort from India where he was arrested in May, a state Division of Parole spokeswoman said Saturday.

Alan Horowitz, 60, will be extradited from New Jersey under a New York arrest warrant issued after he ducked out of the U.S. after meeting with his parole officer on June 7, 2006.

"We're getting him back," said Carole Weaver, the division spokeswoman.

Horowitz was out on parole for his 1991 conviction for first-degree sodomy after he pleaded guilty to an incident involving a 9-year-old boy in Schenectady County.

Horowitz, a former adolescent psychiatrist, served more than 13 years of his 10- to 20-year sentence before he was released on parole in 2004. He was in contact with state officials, saying he was living in an apartment complex in Israel. He said he would never return to the U.S. He then fled to India where he was arrested. U.S. marshals are escorting him back from India.

Horowitz will appear in a New Jersey court the week of July 16 for an extradition hearing, Weaver said.

He'll then head to Schenectady County, where he will face charges for parole violation, Weaver said. His original sentence for the sodomy conviction runs through June 28, 2011.
