A Catholic monk has been returned to Britain from Kosovo following a five-year police manhunt and charged with a string of historical sex offences.
Father Laurence Soper is accused of abusing five boys as young as 14 between 1972 to 1986.
The nine charges include offences of buggery, gross indecency and indecent assault.
The 72-year-old was arrested as he arrived at Luton Airport on Sunday by officers from Scotland Yard’s Sexual Offences, Exploitation and Child Abuse Command.
Soper, who was detained under a European Arrest Warrant in Kosovo in May, will appear at Ealing Magistrates’ Court today.
