Hartin

Authorities today announced the arrest of John Hartin, 46, for the five counts of child rape for which he was indicted in 1997.

Hartin, who grew up in Dorchester, was arrested in North Carolina, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office and Boston Police report.

A 1997 indictment charged him with raping two boys, 6 and 9 at the time, in 1993. Hartin, then a security guard, had allegedly befriended the two boys.

The FBI had offered a $25,000 reward for information leading to his capture, and noted:

It’s quite likely that he has a distinct Boston accent that would stand out to someone if he was in another part of the country.

Innocent, etc.

I'm not the type to pat law enforcement on the back just for doing their job, but I'd say this collar deserves a kudos!
