British paedophile, 70, arrested in Santa Pola
09/02/2017
A BRITISH man accused of sexual assaults on over 30 children in the UK and Thailand has been arrested in Santa Pola (Alicante province).
The 70-year-old was identified after a paedophile's computer was examined following his arrest in The Netherlands and chats with and pictures of at least 15 children linked with the British man were uncovered.
M.F., who had already been arrested in Thailand for the rape of nine children after winning their trust with money and gifts, appeared on the pictures found on the Dutch computer making a heart sign with his hands whilst in the act of abusing the young victims.
He is said to have been an English teacher in a UK school before he retired, and during his career, abused several pupils in the store room.
M.F. even adopted a child and abused him, but when he applied to adopt another in 1986, his request was turned down.
He was also a Scout leader and, in total, is believed to have abused at least 45 children in the last 30 or 40 years.
After being sentenced in the UK and having jumped bail in Thailand, M.F. changed his name and sold his house, starting a new life with a new identity in Spain.
He has been extradited to the UK, Spanish police say.
