Police have obtained a European Arrest Warrant for a former Catholic priest accused of past sex offences, who failed to answer bail.

In June 2010, a man now in his 40s, made an allegation of sexual assault at St Benedict’s School in Ealing, west London.

The wanted man has been named by police as Lawrence Soper, 68.

Police believe he may be in Italy and are appealing to the public to notify them of his whereabouts.
