American Man Accused of Sexual Assault in 2013 is Detained in France for Possession of Stolen Goods and can be Extradited to the U.S.

        On Monday, July 8, 2024, the Court of Appeal in Metz determined that Ian Thomas Cleary can be extradited to the U.S. for pending sexual assault charges. When asked if he wanted to be extradited, per French Law, he refused.[1] Cleary’s refusal may delay the extradition process but will ultimately not prevent it, as the ruling is final.
