A SEX offender who absconded from York Crown Court has now been arrested.
David Graham Laycock, 43, of Burnley, Lancashire, was arrested in the Halifax area yesterday evening, North Yorkshire Police said.
He is currently in police custody.
Laycock should have been sentenced on February 7 for a non-recent sexual assault against a ten-year-old girl in Filey, the force added.
When he failed to attend, a warrant was issued for his arrest.
