(Venice Beach, California) Woo-hoo! Monday afternoon, U.S. Marshals and Akron Police Department detectives apprehended fugitive pervert, John Dallas Lockhart, at his home in Venice Beach. The 36-year-old attorney from Akron, Ohio, was a fugitive from charges involving a series of sex crimes, including the rape of a 4-month-old baby girl.

Captured Pervert
The accused sexual predator was on the U.S. Marshals' "15 Most Wanted" list and had been profiled on the America's Most Wanted television program. Tips received from the public after the television program led to Lockhart's arrest. He was living under the alias Dallas Locke and working as a web page designer.
Lockhart will be returned to Ohio to face federal and local charges including three counts of rape of a victim under 13, three counts of gross sexual imposition, three counts of pandering obscenity of a minor, and unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.
Interestingly, as an attorney, Lockhart is not very bright. Evidence against him was retrieved from his own computer where he was stupid enough to store about 100 perverted sex photos which were seen by a software maintenance company during a routine service call. The company called the Akron Police and Lockhart fled the jurisdiction. He's been a fugitive since August of 2004. It was only through the combined efforts of law enforcers, the media, and the public that he was captured.
