Police in the San Francisco Bay Area on Tuesday helped U.S. Marshals arrest a fugitive wanted in a Massachusetts rape case nearly two decades after he fled that state during his trial, authorities said.

According to a press release issued by the U.S. Marshals Service, the man taken into custody was identified as Tuen Kit Lee, who faced trial in the 2005 kidnapping and raping of a young woman at knifepoint in Quincy, Mass. The release said Lee was found guilty in a September 2007 trial, but fled before he was sentenced.

Massachusetts State Police have offered a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to Lee’s arrest and appeared multiple times on the television show “America’s Most Wanted” to discuss the case.

Lee was dubbed the “Bad Breath Rapist” after the media learned one of the pieces of evidence that established Lee as the assailant was his foul breath.
