A man who was wanted for historic child sex offences has been jailed for 20 years after being found sleeping rough in a Cardiff park.
Matthew Perry, of no fixed address, had been charged with 11 counts of child sexual offences – including rape – after an investigation was launched following reports to police in 2014.
Formerly living in the West Midlands town of Dudley, the 38-year-old man failed to appear at his trial in September 2016 and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
A nationwide search was launched by police after he was seen in the Hertfordshire town of Borehamwood.
