Police are searching for a 43-year-old man charged with sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl.
Paul Goudie, of Kingsfield Road, Watford is alleged to have “intentionally touched” the girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, during an incident in Watford on Saturday, October 13.
Goudie was released on bail after a short hearing at Dacorum Magistrates Court last month, to enter pleas to the allegation and another unrelated charge of vagrancy at St Albans Crown Court on Monday.
However, when the defendant failed to appear Judge Plumstead issued an arrest warrant at the request of the prosecution.
