UPDATE: In a dramatic turn of events, Domingo Sunun, a 46-year-old Nashville man facing multiple charges including aggravated child rape, was arrested in Guatemala after a relentless international manhunt. Local authorities captured him with the aid of the FBI, just two days before Christmas, following his flight to Central America to escape prosecution.
Sunun has been under investigation by the Metro Nashville Police Department since 2021, with serious allegations involving the rape and sexual assault of four young girls. The ongoing inquiry revealed a harrowing pattern of abuse, reportedly spanning from 2017 to 2021, where Sunun is accused of committing multiple crimes against children under the age of twelve.
According to reports from WSMV, Sunun faces an indictment that includes three counts of aggravated child rape, four counts of child rape, and five counts of aggravated sexual battery. The details surrounding his alleged actions have prompted outrage and concern within the community.
When Sunun fled the United States, he believed he could evade justice. However, a collaborative effort between the FBI and Guatemalan authorities has led to his capture, with plans for his extradition back to the U.S. already in motion. Extradition is expected to occur in early 2026, bringing him one step closer to facing the charges against him.
As the investigation continues, authorities emphasize the importance of holding offenders accountable for their actions, especially in cases involving children. The impact of these allegations has sent shockwaves through Nashville, where the community is grappling with the gravity of the situation.
Stay tuned for more updates as this case develops and legal proceedings begin. The quest for justice for the young victims remains a priority for law enforcement officials and the Nashville community alike.
