60 year old British man wanted on child sex abuse charges in the UK has been arrested in Lleida. El Mundo newspaper names him as L.K. and says he was arrested in Torres de Segre.
The fugitive was wanted for 18 offences against children between the ages of 13 and 15 which were committed between 1996 and 1999, while they worked for him during the time he ran a newspaper shop in Bath.
L.K. was charged with seven counts of abuse in 1999, against two girls and a boy, and was released ahead of his trial set for the year 2000. He failed to turn up for the trial and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
A court in Bristol then reopened the case when police in Avon and Somerset confirmed that the suspect had assaulted two other children who had initially denied the abuse, and another eleven counts of abuse were added to the charges.
