It has been reported in Newspapers over the past couple of days that a man who was extradited from Spain to face trial for child sex offences has been allowed to return to Spain until he is back in court.
Michael Dugdale was arrested after a Europe wide man hunt in order to find him was needed. After being extradited from Spain, having been accused of 30 offences including six rapes and sexual assaults on children as young as 12, it is, in my opinion, that it is madness to let this man leave the UK once again.
Dugdale has been living in an expatriate resort near the town of Mazarron, for at least five years now, and was tracked down to his home after one of his alleged victims contacted police.
Having recently stayed at an expatriate resort very close to the town of Mazarron it is a horrible thought to think that this could have been where Dugdale had been living. Locals of the area have a relaxed attitude and I often saw groups of children running around and playing on their own, as they would in their street in England.
Although this seemed a normal thing for children to do, after the Dugdale story came to light the presence of these children on the streets near their homes left locals slightly unsettled. It could have been in their area that Dugdale had run to.
After the hugely publicised disappearance of Madeleine McCann this summer people everywhere were shocked. It is impossible to think that this possible tragedy could happen again. The question people seem to be asking is: ‘What reason, after so many years on the run, does Dugdale have to return to the UK to attend his court case.’ There seem to be many possible places for Dugdale to run to from this area of Spain with a neighbour of Dugdale’s saying that he could ‘probably even get to Morocco from here.’
Although Madeleine McCann was a widely reported disappearance there are many more children that disappear in Europe without us hearing about them. It would be unbearable to think that it was possible for the police to have caught one of these possible child sex offenders only to let him go again. David Borrow, Labour MP said last night what people across Europe will be thinking: ‘All we can hope is that this man returns to the UK to face justice.’
