TACOMA, Wash. – A former Vancouver, Wash. man who is described as being “sexually fixated with children,” cut off his monitoring bracelet and gave police the slip.

Paul Eric Presley was supposed to show up for sentencing at U.S. District Court in Tacoma Monday after pleading guilty to child porn charges. The 47-year-old was being monitored by GPS, but the Department of Justice says Presley cut off his ankle bracelet and fled the Gresham apartment he had been living in. A warrant has been issued for his arrest.

The DOJ says on December 6, 2006, Presley’s wife called 911 after she found child porn on his desktop and laptop computers at their family home in Vancouver.

Police seized the desktop but could not find the laptop. The next day, Presley’s daughter and her boyfriend turned in the laptop, saying Presley had asked them to get rid of it. Investigators found more than 2,900 images and 235 movies of children engaged in explicit sexual conduct on the computers.

Prosecutors were seeking nearly six years in prison for Presley as part of his plea agreement reached in March. They say he was “sexually fixated with children” and they noted that the evidence suggested Presly was openly sexually interested in at least one member of his own family.

His failure to show up for sentencing may land him another ten years in prison if he is caught and convicted.

The DOJ gave no indication of where Presley may be headed. Anyone who knows the whereabouts of Paul Eric Presley is asked to call 911 or contact the FBI at (360) 695-5661.
