Accused Sex Offender Profiled on CNN’s The Hunt Killed by New York Police

An accused sex offender who was profiled recently on John Walsh‘s CNN show The Hunt was killed by New York police today as they were trying to arrest him on charges that he molested a young child.

Walsh profiled Charles Mozdir earlier this month. The parents of a young boy said on The Hunt that Mozdir had inappropriately touched their child and even played with his privates.

New York police attempted to arrest Mozdir today. Two marshals and one police officer were wounded, and Mozdir was killed. The wounded officers have all been sent to the hospital.
