## Resource

After 20 years on the run, Nicaraguan sex offender Elias Herrera finally pleaded guilty to a horrific 2003 assault aboard a Texas cruise ship — where he raped a 15-year-old girl while another crew member looked on. Escaping to Mexico in 2004, Herrera vanished into hiding in Costa Rica, evading justice for decades. His accomplice was already behind bars. Now, after a joint U.S.-Costa Rican extradition effort, Herrera faces up to 20 years in federal prison — a chilling testament that justice, however delayed, can still arrive.
