Police in Northern California 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.

On Tuesday, officers with the Massachusetts State Police Violent Fugitive Apprehension Section and the Quincy Police Department arrested Lee with assistance from the USMS Massachusetts Fugitive Task Force and Danville police.Authorities confirmed that Lee was taken into custody near the intersection of Hill Rd. and Diablo Rd., which is close to Green Valley Elementary School.
