Edward Eugene Harper has been a fugitive for 14 years. FBI officials say they consider Harper "a serious threat" to children. The alleged sexual assaults involved two girls ages 3 and 8.

Investigators believe Harper intended to return to Montana, where he previously worked as a truck driver and considered himself to be a member of the Montana Freemen. Harper also has been a ranch hand in Montana and Wyoming.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is offering a reward of up to $100,000 dollars for any information resulting directly in Harper's arrest.
