After 20 years on the run, man charged with raping child back behind bars in Loudoun Co.

After being on the run for more than 20 years, a man charged with raping a child in Leesburg, Virginia, is back behind bars in Loudoun County following his extradition from El Salvador.
Franklin Antonio Carcamo Giron, 45, returned to the U.S. Friday about a month after the Supreme Court of El Salvador granted extradition. He is being held at the Loudoun County Adult Detention Center, authorities in Leesburg said in a news release Friday.
Carcamo Giron was originally arrested and charged in September 2001 with two counts of rape involving a juvenile under 13. After he was released from jail on bond, authorities said, he fled the area.
In 2019, Leesburg police discovered Carcamo Giron was living in eastern El Salvador and, working with federal and international authorities, obtained what’s known as an INTERPOL Red Notice — a request to law enforcement officials around the world to locate and an arrest someone pending extradition.
