On Thursday, January 16, 2025, Ian Cleary, an American man accused of sexual assault in 2013 was extradited to the United States from France. Cleary, who is infamous for sending a “So I Raped You Message” to his victim, Shannon Keeler, on Facebook disappeared shortly after the incident. Cleary’s whereabouts were unknown until May 14, 2023, after French authorities announced Cleary had been taken into custody the previous month in Metz, France for a stolen goods case. After detaining him, French authorities discovered that there was a warrant issued for his arrest in 2021 over sexual assault charges and agreed to extradite him to the U.S. Cleary refused his extradition to the U.S. in an attempt to avoid facing the charges against him but was unsuccessful.
