Kevin Yungman, 31, is currently awaiting extradition to Ireland. U.S. Local 10 News reports U.S. Marshals took the Argentine-American actor/singer into custody. Irish authorities wanted him in connection with a 2018 Dublin rape case.

Yungman is accused of raping a Brazilian nanny he originally met in France. He was arrested in Florida. 

At the time of the incident in 2018, he was 25. He met a woman while she was on vacation in Paris. They stayed in touch. At some point, the two planned a trip to Ireland, where she worked. He reportedly raped the woman, then 19, twice at a Dublin Airbnb. The woman reported the incident to Irish police two days after the incident. Yungman was arrested as he attempted to board a flight at Dublin Airport. The woman showed police a WhatsApp message from Yungman which reportedly read, "Nothing like this will ever happen again."

According to Yungman, their sexual encounter was consensual. He was later released. But in 2020, the Irish Director of Public Prosecutions ordered his arrest and rape charge. If convicted, Yungman can be sentenced to life in prison.
