Rehrig Waives Extradition Back to PA

Rehrig Waives Extradition Back to PA - Tuesday, September 9, 2008 at 6:33PM EST

POTTSVILLE, SCHUYLKILL COUNTY - After more than a year on the run, a convicted child rapist will return to Schuylkill County on Wednesday.

Russell Rehrig waived his extradition rights Tuesday morning in Atlantic City. That paves the way for his return.

Rehrig skipped town last year, right before a jury convicted him of raping three children. The 52-year-old was caught Friday night near the boardwalk in Atlantic City, where prosecutors say he was hiding out.

"It was a very unusual case. I guess you could say in this case, justice was delayed, but justice was served and that's the most important thing," District Attorney Jim Goodman said.

Rehrig will face a court hearing Thursday morning in Schuylkill County.
