A Georgia man who fled the United States to avoid supervision from a sex offender conviction has been accused of abusing the child of a U.S. embassy official in Mexico, according to the Florida-Times Union.

Timothy Paul Hitchcock, 57, was teaching at a private school near Mexico City when he was arrested in connection with the latest incident, according to the newspaper.

U.S. embassy officials asked Mexico for assistance about two months ago after the official’s son said his teacher had abused him, according to the report. Details from a Mexican newspaper, La Razon de Mexico, were cited.

Hitchcock also bought a false birth certificate under the name Tim Andrew and posed as a Mexican citizen with foreign parents, the Times-Union reported.

Hitchcock was released from federal prison in February 2009, according to the newspaper. He served nine years of a 10-year sentence for using the internet to attempt to seduce a 10-year-old Brunswick boy, the Times-Union reported.

He fled after a federal judge imposed conditions for sex offender supervision.
