An American man accused of sexually assaulting a Pennsylvania college student in 2013 has been detained in France and is awaiting extradition. Ian Cleary, 31, of Saratoga, California, was arrested in Metz in April after a three-year search. He has been held in custody pending extradition proceedings since his arrest. The Appeal Court in Metz ruled in July that he could be extradited.
Cleary had been the subject of an international search since authorities in Pennsylvania issued a 2021 felony warrant in the case weeks after he left the country. The arrest warrant accuses Cleary of stalking an 18-year-old Gettysburg College student at a party in 2013, sneaking into her dorm and sexually assaulting her while she texted friends for help. He was a 20-year-old Gettysburg student at the time, but didn't return to campus. The accuser, Shannon Keeler, had a rape exam done the same day. She gathered witnesses and evidence and spent years urging officials to file charges. She went to authorities again in 2021 after discovering the Facebook messages that seemed to come from Cleary's account. According to the June 2021 warrant, police verified that the Facebook account used to send the messages belonged to Cleary.
