Paedophile on the Loose: Manhunt Underway
5 Jul
Summary
- Paedophile Darren Inkpen is wanted for failing to comply with sex offender rules.
- Inkpen was released from prison in Kent in April and failed to report.
- Police urge the public to report any sightings of the wanted offender.
A large-scale manhunt has been launched for Darren Inkpen, a convicted paedophile deemed a high risk to children. Inkpen, 56, was originally sentenced in 2021 for three sex attacks and ordered to sign the Sex Offenders' Register for life. He was released from prison in Kent in April but has since failed to adhere to his notification requirements.
Inkpen was expected to relocate to the Leeds area in Yorkshire. However, he has not registered his address as required, prompting West Yorkshire Police to issue an urgent public appeal for information. He has previous connections to Yorkshire, Kent, and Sussex. Police are actively pursuing arrest enquiries and are asking for public assistance to locate him swiftly.
