Co-Founder Of Anti-Sex Trafficking Group Charged With Raping Stepdaughter
The Nepal native fled the state of Washington after initial charges, and there are additional charges now.
Dhan Pun, 41, was arrested last March and charged with two counts of third-degree child rape and one count of third-degree child molestation in connection with accusations that he had raped his then-15-year-old stepdaughter.
But Pun posted $50,000 bail and fled to Nepal ahead of a November court date, said Kathy Jo Blake, a deputy prosecuting attorney for Snohomish County. His defense lawyer had been negotiating a plea agreement with prosecutors at the time, she said.
The additional charges against Pun, which were filed in King County Superior Court earlier this week, accuse him of raping his stepdaughter four or five times a month between 2010 and 2012, beginning when she was 13. They include two counts of second-degree child rape and a second count of third-degree child rape.
