claims of anti-black racism within san francisco's schools. a top community leader is now diving into these allegations. >> the future of electric cars california has an idea to change the rules of the road, and it may land you $400. >> always live abc seven news starts right now. >> and we begin tonight with the search for an american fugitive. the suspect, born and raised in

the bay area, but now found living halfway around the world. and investigators say he may have admitted to his crime on facebook. good evening. thank you for joining us. >> i'm dan ashley, and i'm ama daetz tonight. this suspect originally from saratoga, is being held in held in jail in france. there's been a warrant for him for more than three years now. >> the description of his alleged actions some may find upsetting. authorities say the victim showed them a facebook message from him that said, quote, so i raped you. end quote. abc seven news reporter j.r. >> stone is following the story, joins us live tonight with those details jr. >> umma dan there are certainly still questions out there on why in a digital age like the one that we're seemingly in, it took authorities nearly three years to find this man. nevertheless he is in custody right now. the man blurred out in this photo, 31 year old ian cleary, who was wanted by u.s. marshals, has now been caught in france, according to the associated press. >> he did uh- forced himself on

me and raped me and after he did that, he started crying said, i'm sorry. like i didn't mean to hurt you. i didn't mean to hurt you. did i hurt you? and then i said, yes, he hurt me. >> that is shannon keeler speaking to abc news. three years ago. she said she was raped by cleary in her room after a frat party in 2013 at gettysburg college in pennsylvania. she went to campus police and local authorities, but nothing was initially done and no charges filed. that was until keeler says cleary sent facebook messages to her admitting guilt. police then reopened the case and put out an arrest warrant. cleary is a saratoga native and santa clara university alum who allegedly had been on the run since those messages were made public three years ago. >> it's like you came to terms with that, that he did do it and

his last few messages were, so i raped you. i won't do it to a girl ever again. >> i think the strength of that social media statement is going to carry the day to bring mr. cleary back to the united states and have him set for trial, legal analyst steven clarke says that while it may seem odd that a message appearing to admit guilt was sent, it sometimes happens as people try to make amends. >> keeler told the ap that after the incident, the then district attorney said it was difficult to bring cases when alcohol is involved. clarke, though, says that is no longer how things are done. >> they actually look at as a reason to bring a case because they say that if someone is not capable of consent, you cannot take advantage of them, even if they are intoxicated, clarke says. >> if this case eventually goes to trial, the defense would likely try to question the validity of the facebook messages. you did not see

cleary's picture in that story, as he has not yet officially been charged. his french lawyer appointed to represent him did not return phone messages on tuesday, according to the apa. as to if and when he'll be returned to the united states. that is unknown at this time. i have reached out to multiple departments and agencies in pennsylvania for more information. jr stone, abc seven news. >> what a story jr thanks very much. the encampment at uc berkeley is all packed up this evening after successful talks with the university. the university says they reached an agreement to expedite what it calls a new socially responsible investment strategy. demonstrators say they're going to protest at the uc regents meeting at uc merced tomorrow, as other activists from across the state are doing. uc regents have no plans to sell assets, despite the protesters demand that the universities divest the regents say tonight that the

university system has $32 billion invested in companies that make weapons or support israel. >> it's very complicated, some of them are time commitments that we've made, and the students need to understand that. but we i think we need to do a better job at communicating that. >> at least one committee member says the board should consider protesters demands when looking at future investments. in the meantime, protesters at san francisco state say they've reached an agreement with the university leadership tonight after more than two weeks of their encampment. they say the university has agreed to divest from weapons manufacturers and other similar groups. in the future, they'll give a formal news conference tomorrow on campus about all of this. and in the south bay, a pro-palestinian rally was held at the encampment on the san jose state campus. it popped up yesterday and today the school warned students they need to take the tents down or they could face sanctions. the encampment is right near the statue of tommie smith and john

carlos, who famously protested during a medal ceremony at the 1968 summer olympics. developing news now the fbi and department of homeland security are putting out a warning regarding pride events next month. >> they say foreign terrorist groups like isis could make them a target tonight. they believe this threat is being compounded by the environment here at home. abc seven news reporter tim johns is hearing from the groups that are on high alert. >> it's one of the most lively celebrations in the bay area. every june, our region comes alive with the sights and sounds of pride. >> we want to celebrate that people in san francisco live authentic lives and that we can love who we love. >> but ahead of this year's celebrations comes a new public service announcement from the fbi and department of homeland security. in it, a warning that foreign terrorist organizations like isis could target pride events around the country. cameron pollan works with the fbi's branch here in san francisco.
