MISSING PAEDOPHILE KARLOS BRINGINS FOUND IN BRADFORD, DONCASTER AREA
| Red Rose Database
Doncaster Child Sexual Abuser
In May 2006, police located a missing convicted paedophile, Karlos Bringins, approximately 45 miles from where he had last been seen.
Bringins, aged 54, did not return after an unsupervised outing in Hexthorpe, Doncaster, South Yorkshire, where he was under the supervised care of the local mental health trust.
He was previously jailed for a sexual assault on a seven-year-old boy in 1974 and spent 21 years in a high security hospital. Police confirmed that Bringins was found in Bradford, South Yorkshire, and was reported to be "safe and well"; however, no further details were disclosed.
Yesterday, Detective Superintendent Matt Jukes issued an urgent appeal for assistance, stating that Bringins "may pose a risk." He explained that a team of 40 officers, supported by the force helicopter and mounted section, had been searching for him.
Jukes also revealed that Bringins had previously gone missing in 1988, after being granted more relaxed conditions following incarceration in a high security setting. After this incident, he was returned to a secure hospital. Over the past decade, he has been permitted to live in a 24-hour supervised, low security environment.
Since October of the previous year, under medical supervision, Bringins was allowed short, 10 to 15-minute unsupervised visits to local shops. It was during one of these outings that he disappeared.
Jukes urged the local community not to take the law into their own hands, noting that Bringins was born in Bradford and had family ties in the area.
Dr. Abed Raidh, medical director of the Doncaster and South Humberside NHS Trust, which is responsible for his care, described the risk posed by Bringins as "difficult to quantify."
