Norwich, Conn. —
A Taftville man was arrested Tuesday in Miami after Norwich police say he returned to the states from Haiti rather than face extradition on sex assault charges.
Luckner Sylvain, 49, whose last known address was on South A St. in Taftville, was charged with one count each of first-degree sexual assault and fourth-degree sexual assault, and two counts of risk of injury to a minor.
Police say an investigation was opened in 2006 into Sylvain’s alleged sexual relationship with a then 12-year-old. Sylvain fled to Haiti when the investigation started, and did not intend to return to the U.S., police said.
The Norwich police sought help from the U.S. State Department and Haitian authorities to help take Sylvain into custody, police said.
