A footage shows Neil Robinson on BBC.

A British who fled to China to escape punishment has been jailed for 12 years for historical sex offences after he was extradited to the UK.

Neil Robinson, 47, formerly lived in Staines in Surrey, surrendered to Chinese police following a renewed appeal for information on his whereabouts.

He admitted three counts of having sex with a girl under 13 and three indecent assaults at a previous hearing at Guildford Crown Court.

He also received concurrent jail terms for the assaults and 26 counts of taking and making indecent images.

He was ordered to sign the sex offenders register indefinitely, was given a sex offence prevention order for life, and disqualified from working with children indefinitely.

Robinson had been on the run for more than ten years after his offences took place between 1999 and 2002 in the UK.

"Robinson is a highly dangerous sexual predator who put his vulnerable young victims through what must have been horrendous ordeals and then spent the next ten years doing everything he could to escape punishment for those horrific crimes," said Detective Inspector Becky Molyneux, from the Staines Public Protection Unit.
