A SEX offender is being hunted by police after he failed to attend his bail address.

Jason George Gleave, also known as Jason Cunliffe, is wanted after he went missing from the address in Blackburn.

Gleave, who is said to have links to Bolton, Leigh and Chorley, must keep police updated about his current address, and police said he has now breached his notification requirements.

The 33-year-old was convicted in July 2013 for taking a 14-year-old girl without lawful authority and sexually assaulting her.

Det Con Yusuf Lorgat said: “We take any breach of notification requirements very seriously and I would urge anyone with information on where Gleave might be to contact us.

“I would also urge Jason himself, if he sees this appeal, to hand himself in to the police.”

Anyone with information can call police on 101 quoting incident reference LC-20150423-0503, or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.
