FUGITIVE WANTED BY U.S. MARSHALS IN OREGON July 10, 2015 --
Detectives say accused child predator John Sokol targets young boys.

He has been charged with Sodomy and six counts of sexual abuse in Washington County, Oregon.

He was in Seattle earlier this year to rush getting his passport after cashing out his 401k when he knew he was being investigated. He also took out a $10,000 cash advance on his credit card.

He left his car behind and is on the run. It's possible he made it to Canada before the charges were filed.

Detectives say they've identified four victims between five and 13 years old, so more charges are pending in Multnomah County, Oregon.

Sokol is 51 years old, 5'11 and 195 pounds. The photo above was taken in February.

Detectives say Sokol is a huge Grateful Dead fan and is likely paying cash at hotels. The U.S. Marshals found two hotels in Seattle where he stayed.
