A CONVICTED sex offender jetted off on holiday to Morocco without notifying the police.
Wayne Mansbridge, 57, of Oak Grove in Twycross, was convicted of sexually assaulting a serving soldier who he had given a lift to in the pouring rain between Tenby and Castlemartin in 2014.
Mansbridge was required to register as a sex offender – one of the terms of which was that he must notify the police before travelling abroad.
Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court heard that Mansbridge went on holiday to Morocco between January 16 and February 16.
