A 'serial child rapist' was arrested in Missouri after more than two decades on the lam, according to the U.S. Marshals Service. Herman Carroll, 72, who posted bail in 2000 on allegations of child sex abuse out of Moultrie County Illinois, had since disappeared and failed to appear at a court hearing in 2001 that was linked to the case, according to a Monday statement from the Marshals Service. Carroll was arrested Saturday in Branson, Missouri, authorities said.

Carroll had previous convictions of sex offenses involving minors in 1983 and 1993, according to the Marshals. It was not immediately known Wednesday afternoon if Carroll had retained an attorney. On May 8, a Marshals task force received a 'collateral lead' Carroll was most likely living in western Missouri. Carroll was arrested three days later. He was booked into the Taney County Jail in Missouri, and awaits extradition, the Marshals said.
