As reported by WPXI News in Tallahassee,
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - A Pennsylvania fugitive wanted on 865 charges related to the sexual abuse of a 5-year-old boy has been captured in Florida, police said.
Garrick Landon Bloom, 47, of Shippenville, Pennsylvania, was taken into custody Thursday morning by U.S. marshals outside a Tallahassee homeless shelter, where he had been staying for a couple of days, The Tallahassee Democrat reported. He remained Friday in the Leon County Jail on a fugitive warrant.
Back home in Clarion County, Bloom is charged with 216 counts of rape of a child, 216 counts of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse with a child, 216 counts of aggravated indecent assault of a child, 216 counts of statutory sexual assault and one count of endangering the welfare of a child, the Democrat said.
According to a criminal complaint obtained Monday by ExploreClarion.com, Pennsylvania State Police investigators based in Clarion were notified Oct. 25 by county child welfare officials that a young boy reported being sexually assaulted by Bloom. The boy, whose current age was not made public, told investigators he was forced to perform oral sex on Bloom on multiple occasions, the court document said.
The complaint said Bloom began to “groom” the boy when he was 5 years old, ExploreClarion.com reported. The sexual abuse is alleged to have gone on for years.
The document indicated Bloom initially denied the allegations but later admitted to the crimes, the news site said. An editor’s note on ExploreClarion.com said more specific details of the alleged crimes were withheld due to their graphic nature.
Warrants were issued for his arrest Jan. 16, but he had already fled the area.
Pennsylvania law states that 648 of the charges against Bloom are first-degree felonies, for which he faces up to 20 years in prison for each count. He faces up to 10 years for each count of statutory sexual assault and up to seven years for endangering the welfare of a child.
Bloom faces more than 15,000 years in prison if convicted.
Newsweek reports,
Officers arrested Bloom outside the Kearney Center, which provides 24-hour comprehensive emergency services to individuals experiencing homelessness. He was taken into custody without incident and was transported to the Leon County Detention Facility, where he is still being held.
“That’s a high-traffic area for children getting off school buses,” U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force Deputy Commander Marty West told the Tallahassee Democrat. “Having a predator like that hanging around Tallahassee, it would have only been a matter of time.”
This is KEY! Parents BEWARE. These predators prey on games and other social sites posing as teens or kids. They prey on their vulnerability as you can imagine and the fact that kids can be quite trusting, loyal and empathetic. They Also make the child feel wanted and take interest in the child's hobbies and life in order to groom them.
There are times they gain a child's trust and try to arrange a meet up.
This is the rest of what was reported by an observer from Neesweek,
Kendra Gude, who frequents the Kearney Center, told WCTV that she saw the Marshals come into the center, handcuff Bloom and escort him out, which made her wonder what he had done. A few minutes before his arrest, Gude said she had interacted with Bloom and that he seemed like a normal guy.
Many of them do. You would never Know it, that is why people must be vigilant in protecting the innocent.
"There are people here that look totally innocent, but you never know what they've done," Gude told WCTV. "They might be running from the law or whatever."
Moving forward, she said it’s a lesson everyone at the center should heed about whom to trust.
Under Pennsylvania law, rape of a child is punishable by up to 40 years in prison, meaning if Bloom is convicted of all 216 counts of child rape, and is ordered to serve his sentences consecutively, he could be sentenced to 8,640 years in prison.
