|November 11, 2025
Piano instructor John Kaleel disappeared to Australia just before a jury found him guilty.
MATT JELONEK Getty Images IT IS expected that sex abuser John Kaleel will be returned to the U.S. Above, Australian police in April.
A piano teacher to the stars who fled the country last month just before a jury found him guilty of sexually abusing a student was arrested in Australia, authorities said.
John Kaleel, 69, was taken into custody by Australian Federal Police on Oct. 31, according to Nicole Nishida, spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, the agency investigating him in the United States.
It was not clear where Kaleel was arrested, and Australian authorities did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Kaleel, an Australian national, was facing a retrial on multiple counts of sexually abusing a student last month when he fled the country on Oct. 8, according to the Sheriff's Department.
