WANTED CHILD PREDATOR POSSIBLY IN HOUSTON AREA
"The following article includes allegations as released by the government and should not be taken as truthful evidence or as any indication of guilt. As these allegations remain unanswered by the accused and unadjudicated by a court, they remain unproved and are just as likely false."
Fugitive David John Sprong, Jr., a convicted felon and registered sex offender in the state of California, may be traveling in the Houston area with his longtime girlfriend, Lynn Rodaer, and their ten-year-old daughter, Justine. Investigation revealed Sprong was most recently living under the alias name of John Ellison in a rented home in the 20000 block of Roxette Court in Humble, Texas. He was also recently operating an auto repair shop on Isaacs Road in Humble, Texas. Sprong has been featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show and is listed on her Child Sexual Predator Watch List. Oprah Winfrey is offering a $100,000 reward of her own money to any citizen who assists in providing information which leads to Sprong's arrest. This past Saturday evening, Sprong was featured on the America's Most Wanted television program. Sprong is believed to have left his rented home in Humble, Texas shortly after the show was broadcast on 01/27/2007.
Sprong is wanted on multiple molestation charges related to the alleged molestation of young girls. On March 17, 2006, a complaint was filed in the Superior Court of California, County of Sacramento, and a warrant issued alleging that Sprong failed to appear for a bond revocation hearing. He was to be remanded to custody during a March 17, 2006 pre-trial hearing meant to consolidate multiple molestation charges against Sprong and to add a life enhancement for multiple victims by a habitual sex offender. Sprong was free on bond having previously been charged with multiple counts of digital penetration, oral copulation, and fondling of female minors. A federal arrest warrant charging Sprong with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution was issued on March 22, 2006, in the Eastern District of California, Sacramento, California.
Sprong is an auto mechanic by trade. He is described as a white male, approximately 6'0" tall, 225 pounds with brown hair and green eyes. He has scars on his left and right ankles, left and right legs, right finger, and right thigh. He also has a tattoo on his right leg. He may be driving a 1999 or 2000 green Infinity Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) with a gold band along the bottom sides of the vehicle. Within the past 2-3 days, Sprong may have checked in to an area hotel or may have recently moved in to an apartment or home in the area.
