Arthur Kanev,
Age: 56 years, Residence: Boston, Occupation: Dentist


Kanev first came to Costa Rica in 1996 and moved into a luxurious home in Quepos.

He and his friend, Joe Curtis Baker, a veterinarian from Oklahoma City who was sentenced to 24 years in prison, continuously received visits from poor young girls and adolescents.

When police raided the home in January of 1999, they found 280 pornographic pictures of young girls.

Investigations reveal that at least 30 minors were victims of Kanev and Baker.

Baker was convicted for administering controlled substances to a child, but Kanev escaped the country shortly after Baker´s capture. In an interview with the television program 20/20, Kanev stated that he felt no remorse for what he had done.

On July 24, 2003, Kanev was detained in Pompano Beach, Florida, after living as a fugitive for almost two years.

On March 13, 2004, Kanev accepted extradition to Costa Rica in exchange for not being tried in the United States under extraterritorial laws.

Kanev will go down in history as the first United States citizen extradited to Costa Rica, to be tried for sexual crimes against minors.
