ONE of five missing child sex offenders named on a new most wanted' website - which includes an East Lancashire paedophile - has handed himself in to police.

Gordon Stewart went to a police station in the Aberdeen area on Saturday and was arrested, the crime charity Crimestoppers said.

A nationwide manhunt is still under way for Joshua Karney, who went missing while on licence after being released from jail to stay at a bail hostel in Blackburn.

Karney, 28, jailed for 15 months for assaulting a 14-year-old Barnoldswick boy, is one of just five people named on the Crimestoppers Most Wanted website last week.

He was released from prison on licence in April 2003 but never arrived in Blackburn and has not been seen since.
