Corbett was charged in 1989 with sexually assaulting a woman in her home
A 61-year-old Massachusetts man on the state’s list of most wanted sex offenders was arrested in Mexico last week in the city of Guanajuato, Guanajuato authorities say.
John Corbett, wanted for failing to register as a sex offender, was arrested in central Mexico after authorities discovered he was living there after a year-long search.
U.S. Marshals and Mexican authorities found Corbett, a level three sex offender, living in a container home in the countryside, police said. He has been deported to Georgia, where he is held at the Clayton County Jail in Jonesboro.
Corbett was wanted on a warrant out of Newton District Court charging him with failure to register as a sex offender as required by law.
Corbett was required to register as a sex offender after a 1989 incident that led to his conviction for rape, assault, and battery with a deadly weapon and breaking and entering, police said. He broke into a Newton home and assaulted a woman at knifepoint.
