VANCOUVER – A man who is wanted in Germany for sex crimes against a child that spanned four years was found hiding in British Columbia’s Lower Mainland and ordered deported Tuesday.
Patrick Boehme, 45, was arrested on Friday by Canada Border Services Agency officers, who began looking for the man in February after German police issued an arrest warrant for sexual interference with a minor.
At an Immigration and Refugee Board detention review hearing on Tuesday, Boehme’s lawyer, Sharon An, said her client admitted to having “sexual relations” with a girl while she was between the ages of 13 and 17.
The name of the girl and her relationship to Boehme is protected by a publication ban.
