Local Police are appealing for help to try and trace a wanted sex offender.
Benjamin Moorhead, 30, a registered sex offender, was last seen on Wednesday 14th March, 2012 after he appeared at Lancaster Magistrates Court for an offence of (non sexual) assault.
Moorhead, formerly of Borrans Lane, Middleton, Morecambe is wanted
for failing to adhere to conditions of his registration and for breach
of his probation licence conditions.
Moorhead was convicted at
Carlisle Crown Court in 2001 for an offence of indecent assault and will
be a registered sex offender for life. He is described as a white man, five ft 10 in tall, slim and he has short brown hair. He speaks with a North West accent.
“Moorhead is a registered
sex offender and while he is not wanted for an assault of any kind, he
is breaching his registration requirements and also his Probation
licence conditions,” explains Detective Inspector Phil Jones of Lancaster Police. “Therefore I would appeal to anyone who has
information on his whereabouts to contact police.
“All sex offenders that are managed in the community by both the
police and partner agencies are robustly managed to try and prevent
further offending. If they fail to comply with their legal obligations
and terms of licence we will take every action to locate and arrest
them.”
