It's been one year since a Hindu guru known as Swamiji disappeared to avoid a long prison sentence.

A Hays County jury convicted Prakashanand Saraswati, 83, on 20 counts of child molestation. The victims were under 17, and their families lived in his religious compound.

He was sentenced to 14 years in prison and a $10,000 for each count.

Swamiji was allowed to go home after his conviction because he posted an $11 million bond.

He never showed up for his sentencing hearing. Investigators thought he fled to Mexico.
