Former Bryan teacher and accused child molester Bruce Unger is back behind bars after being extradited from New York on Tuesday.
According to the Brazos County Sheriff's Office, Unger arrived Tuesday night at 11:45 p.m. and was booked by 12:48 a.m.
Unger was charged with five counts of failure to appear for indecency with a child and one count of failure to appear for aggravated sexual assault with a child.
He was already facing five counts of indecency with a child and one count of aggravated sexual assault of a child.
Two local investigators flew to New York Tuesday to transport Unger. The three flew to Houston, then drove back to Brazos County without incident.
Last week, Unger signed an extradition waiver clearing his transport to Texas.
Unger was arrested earlier this month in the Ukraine more than a year after he failed to show up for a pre-trial hearing. Authorities said he had been working as an English instructor near Kiev since November 2007. Once captured, he was flown to New York City to await extradition to Texas.
Officials with the Brazos County Sheriff's Office continue to investigate whether someone helped Unger flee the country.
Once complete, they'll turn their findings over to the district attorney's office for review.

Sadly, this is exactly the kind of behavior we have come to expect out of public school teachers. If they are not raping little boys, they are breaking in to houses or selling dope. The schools have employed a whole lot of sick, twisted freaks. I'm sure Bruce Unger will encounter many former teachers when he gets to the state penitentiary. He should feel right at home with them. I hope you get in there and rot, Bruce Unger
