A law lecturer who fled England just before he was due to be sentenced for creating indecent images of a child has failed in his third attempt to challenge his detention here, pending his extradition.

A High Court judge has decided there is no reason not to hand over a fugitive sex offender to the UK authorities.

A British sex offender has claimed that he was denied a fair trial in the UK and fled to Ireland for his own personal safety after receiving death threats.

A former law lecturer who had been on the run after being convicted of downloading indecent images of children has been arrested in Dublin today.
