Authorities in Hungary have captured Pablo Lapiedra, the Spanish man wanted by Colombia on child pornography charges.
Lapiedra, who has been on the run since skipping an extradition hearing in Spain in December, is accused of using teenage girls in porn movies shot in Medellin.
He was arrested in Budapest on Monday, according to the National Court in Spain, reports La Semana magazine.
One victim, who was 16, said she was paid $900 for appearing in one film and promised the movies would not be distributed in Colombia — but they were posted on several websites.
Lapiedra, who’s 37, claims not to have known that the girls were underage, saying they showed him fake ID.
The director was tracked from Colombia to Spain and arrested in Barcelona in March last year. He was later released on probation after posting bail of $135,000.
Lapiedra’s then-wife, Colombian porn star Lupe Fuentes, is alleged to have recruited the girls and is also wanted on charges of child pornography as well for immigration violations in the U.S.
