	Fugitive U.S. Doctor Convicted of Child Molestation in Custody By Shaveta Bansal All Headline News July 9, 2007 http://www.allheadlinenews.com/articles/7007861836 Newark, NJ - A former child psychologist convicted of sexually abusing children is back in U.S. custody, more than a year after he escaped the authorities while on parole release. Alan Horowitz, 60, was arrested by authorities in India on May 22 and had been there locked up in jail awaiting deportation. Horowitz was flown into Newark Liberty International Airport on Sunday, where he was arrested by officials from the U.S. Marshals. According to Deputy U.S. Marshal Gary Mattison, a network of tipsters and several hi-tech electronic surveillance techniques were employed to track down Horowitz. Horowitz, an ordained rabbi, was sentenced to 10-20 years in jail for child molestation. He was released on parole in 2004; an arrest warrant was issued against him last year after he left the country, violating his parole. Horowitz was arrested at a seaside resort in southern India following massive investigation by the Indian police, agents from the State Department's Diplomatic Security Service, and U.S. Marshals, CNN reports. Horowitz has also been convicted of "perverted sexual practices" in Maryland, and in Israel, authorities had launched an investigation into charges that he had sexually abused some of his second wife's children. Horowitz is being held at a correctional facility in New Jersey pending an extradition hearing in court on July 16.
