Revere sexual assault fugitive arrested in New York

By Globe Staff

A 54-year-old man wanted by Revere police for allegedly sexually assaulting an 11-year-old girl has been arrested, police said.

John W. Canadyan was arrested in late July for the alleged assaults in June and July.

He failed to appear in court last month to face two counts of indecent assault and battery on a child under 14. He fled to Canada, where he was spotted on the Kahnawake Indian Reservation. Before he could be captured, he fled again, police said.

Canadyan was arrested in New York Tuesday as he reentered the United States, police said. He is expected to be returned to Chelsea for arraignment in district court Friday.
