Man Charged with Eight Counts of Sexual Abuse Extradited to Des Moines

A man who took up residence in a mall gaming store with his family has been extradited back to Polk County after being accused of sexually abusing three of his children.

The Des Moines Register reported Monday that James Beaudrie, 36, was booked into the Polk County Jail around 9:20 p.m. Sunday. He remains behind bars on a $200,000 cash only bond.

, who owns Gamesip at Merle Hay Mall, is charged with eight counts of third-degree sexual abuse.

He was captured by U.S. Marshals at his mother's Chicago home on April 19 after a two-week nationwide search.

Beaudrie's wife Kijua, 35, also remains in jail on a $30,000 bond; she is charged with three counts of child neglect.

According to KCCI.com, Des Moines Police in November charged James Beaudrie with assault causing injury of his teenage daughter. The daughter ran away from home on Jan. 30, police said.

All nine of James and Kijua Beaudrie's children were placed in shelters or foster homes pending the investigation, the TV station reported.

The Register reported that while charges only include alleged incidents in Des Moines since October 2011, when the family moved to the city, investigators said they believe physical abuse on multiple children had been ongoing before then.
