A 12-year-old reported being touched inappropriately by Ouimet last month at the Dorset Quarry in Vermont.
A warrant for Ouimet’s arrest was issued last week. Around 6 p.m. on Friday, he was arrested by Border Patrol while attempting to enter Canada.
Ouimet will be turned over to New York State Police, and extradition to Vermont is pending.
