Jean Leonard Faure is wanted for failing to appear for trial on charges of rape, sodomy, and burglary following an alleged January 5, 1998 attack on his ex-wife in Roseburg, Oregon, committed in violation of a restraining order. After his arrest on January 6, 1998 and release on bail, Faure failed to appear for trial on March 3, 1998, prompting both state and federal arrest warrants. With family connections across the United States, Canada, the Seychelles, and known travel to Singapore and the UAE, Faure remains at large and poses a serious threat.
