An urgent search has been launched to find a convicted child rapist who 'presents a real risk to children and women'. Stephen Pennington is wanted by Lancashire Police after failing to comply with his licence conditions.

The 35-year-old is being recalled to prison and has links to Blackburn, Blackpool and Wigan. The force said Pennington is a registered sex offender who was jailed in 2009 for the rape of a child.

He was jailed again last year for breaches of a sexual harm prevention order and notification requirements, LancsLive reports.
