Man wanted in New Zealand for child sex caught in Thailand

A Briton who allegedly fled New Zealand on a stolen passport while on bail for child sex offences here has been arrested in Thailand, Britain’s Child Exploitation and Online Protection (Ceop) agency said.

Roderick William Robinson, 73, was detained in Pattaya on Tuesday, having been on the run for 12 years, a local newspaper reported.

Thai authorities said Robinson’s right to stay in that country had been cancelled and he would be deported back to Britain.

The Pattaya paper said Robinson was arrested for child molestation on Valentine’s Day in 1998.
