Derek Johnson, aged 58, is believed to have committed offences in Gloucestershire, Kent and potentially elsewhere in the UK, befriending vulnerable victims online before travelling to meet them in person.
He was arrested by Hertfordshire Police last month at our request before later failing to answer to bail.
It’s believed he could now be anywhere in the country.
Johnson is believed to have connections in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, Gloucestershire, West Midlands, Devon, Yorkshire, Wales, Ayrshire, Northumbria, Northern Ireland and Kent.
The public are advised not to approach him.
Anyone who sees Johnson, or has any information about his whereabouts, is asked to report information online using the following form, quoting incident 324 of 3 March: https:///www.gloucestershire.police.uk/…/a-crime-that…/
You can also call 101 or, if you have seen him in the last few moments, please dial 999, using the same incident number.
Alternatively, you can stay 100 percent anonymous by contacting the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via their untraceable online form at www.crimestoppers-uk.org
