<span class="mw-page-title-main">Eric Justin Toth</span> American sex offender

Eric Justin Toth is an American former fugitive and sex offender convicted of possessing and producing child pornography. On April 10, 2012, Toth replaced Osama bin Laden on the FBI Ten Most Wanted list as the 495th fugitive to be placed on that list by the FBI. One alleged reason he was chosen for the list is that his distinctive appearance—he is tall and thin, with a mole under his left eye—would make it hard for him to hide if his case became well publicized. Toth was captured in Esteli, Nicaragua on April 10, 2013 and extradited on April 22, 2013, to the United States to face trial.
