A British man arrested in France for trying to marry a nine-year-old girl at Disneyland Paris is a known predatory paedophile who is on the run from UK justice, it emerged today.
The 39-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was on Tuesday charged with various imprisonable offences.
Park staff were shocked to see him with a Ukrainian child, along with her family and around 100 guests, on Saturday as they turned up for a 'pretend wedding ceremony'.
Now, prosecutors in Meaux, east of Paris, have confirmed the man was known in Britain 'for sexual offences against minors'.
A statement reads: 'He is registered on the British sex offenders register and is currently wanted at the national level by the judicial authorities of his country of origin, for failing to comply with the obligations arising from said registration.'
