Suspected paedophile held

A SUSPECTED British paedophile wanted for abusing children as young as 18 months and selling online child porn has been arrested in Thailand after more than a decade on the run.

Charles David Taylor, 66, was due to be extradited to Britain, where he was arrested in 1998 and charged with 35 child sex offences before fleeing to north-eastern Thailand.

There he allegedly continued to abuse children and record the activities for internet sales, the Thai Immigration Bureau said.
