Martin anthony Smith, 45, from North Shields, was wanted in connection with a rape of a child under 16, gross indecency with a girl under the age of 16, indecent assault of a girl under 16 and attempted rape of a girl under 16, according to Crimestoppers.

He was arrested in Barcelona on Friday, more than two years after he failed to answer bail in the UK.
