A British priest accused of child sex offences has been sent back to the UK from Kosovo and arrested at London’s Luton airport, five years after he went on the run, police said.
Laurence Soper was detained on Sunday as he arrived back in the country, British police said in a statement.
Soper, 72, was taken into custody in London and later charged with nine sexual assault offences committed between 1972 and 1986.
He was due to appear in Ealing Magistrates’ Court on Monday, London’s Metropolitan Police said.
