A 56-year-old man wanted out of Phoenix is behind bars in South Lake Tahoe charged with 43 counts of sex crimes.

Authorities say Gordon Golding was arrested on November 19th by U.S. Marshals, along with Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the South Lake Tahoe Police Department. 

U.S. Marshals say a warrant was issued for Golding in Maricopa County after he removed his ankle monitor and failed to appear at a court hearing for the charges including sexual abuse, sexual voyeurism, sexual conduct with a minor and involving minors in a drug offense. 

U.S. Marshals say the kickboxing instructor developed relationships with underage girls whom he then committed multiple sex acts with.

They say after removing his ankle monitor, Golding fled to South Lake Tahoe on November 18th, where he was apprehended.

Golding is currently in El Dorado County jail awaiting extradition back to Arizona.
