Former teacher convicted of child porn charges back in U.S.
In a process to extradite him back to Oregon, a former Beaverton teacher convicted of child pornography who fled the country was transported to Houston on Thursday.
Logan Storm has been booked in Houston's Harris County Jail after he was captured in Mexico. The process to bring him to Oregon will now begin, a U.S. Marshals Service spokesman said Thursday afternoon.
It's not clear how long that process will take.
Storm, who was a teacher at Stoller Middle School, was convicted of possessing child pornography.
Storm's attorneys were still trying to get in touch with him as recently as late Thursday morning.
At first, federal authorities wouldn't even confirm Storm was in custody in Mexico partly because they say he denied being the man they were after.
The U.S. Marshals Service now says marshals found Storm in Mexico City on March 12 but nailing down Storm's identity held up extraditing him back to the United States.
According to the Mexican Consulate in Portland, a judge in Mexico would require pretty much what a U.S. judge would require to identify someone and release them for extradition: documentation, fingerprints and even a photograph of the person in question.
Still unanswered is how Storm got to Mexico and if he had any help while on the run.
A judge let Storm go free until his sentencing in April even though he had taken off once before to Europe. On the night of Jan. 29 or Jan. 30, investigators said he cut off his electronic monitoring bracelet and left it in a park in Troutdale hours after he was found guilty.
In mid-February, U.S. Marshals found his silver Volkswagen Jetta in Los Angeles. The Oregon license plate had been removed.
Storm had hundreds of pornographic images and videos of toddlers and young girls on his computer equipment, according to the U.S attorney.
When investigators found the porn months ago, they said Storm fled to London where he hid out for nine months.
This paragraph sums it all up,
"A judge let Storm go free until his sentencing in April even though he had taken off once before to Europe.

This judge needs to be thrown out of office. He's obviously such fool that he's not qualified to "judge" anything. Until the judiciary starts being held responsible for this type of stupidity, it will never stop. Make no mistake about it; the judge is as responsible for giving this man the chance to flee as the man himself. And I wonder if the perv has abused anyone since fleeing the country (again) after his arrest.  That is the judgeâs responsibility also and he needs to be held financially responsible for the suffernig of this man's victims.

You can run, but you can't hide.. Â lol...
lets hope he has a short and miserable stay in jail......
'Still unanswered is how Storm got to Mexico..' Well, that's easy. The same way the milions of Mexicans are getting here. Once the road road is open, it works both ways. Even for the wrong drive driverrs.
"It" doesn't even have the balls to admit that he's been caught...."Oh no, it's not ME!" Coward...Here's hoping he's voted Mr. Popular of his cellblock!
@weasel There are a lot of responsibilities that come with being Mr. Popular.  But something tells me you're talking about the always-mentioned Bubba.  Boy, some of you guys sure like to talk about male-on-male sodomy.  Kinda kinky, but at least you get those repressed thoughts out there.
Lets microchip these Fuc@faces, put them under and surgically implant one in the middle of their back. Or just hang them, im down for either.
At least Senior Judge for Life Ancer Haggerty (the one who turned him loose) isn't scheduled to be the sentencing judge.
Are the ankle bracelets that easy to cut off??
@lorivance Easier than cutting off the foot.
NO BAIL! Did the judge get that? NO BAIL!Â
Go directly to jail. Do not pass GO. Do not collect $200.Â
So you think this time around this letch and pedophile and PUBLICLY ACKNOWLEDGED threat to all public safety will be kept behind locked bars in Nanny State Oregon?
He is sooooooo unrepetent and ready to repeatedly offend it is mind boggling. And scary.
Mr. Storm - I wouldn't want to be your cell mate. Or anyone subject to be in your company - you are that "foul".
I think they need to re-think this ankle monitor thing. Keep them or allow them to post bail period, and after this guy ran once, he should have stayed behind bars until his trial.
This guy has a history of fleeing jurisdiction and yet the judge let him out. I think the judge needs to pay for the costs of bringing him back.
@RalphCramden Better yet Ralph, lets have the judge pay to keep him in a Mexican prison.
@Scotty9
That's the best idea I have heard in a long time Scotty.
