A convicted Latvian paedophile will be extradited to his home country after a judge rejected his claims that jail time in his native land would breach his human rights.

Kaspars Botters abused a girl under the age of 16 on five occasions from 2009 to 2014 in Latvia.

The 39-year-old, then came to the UK but was arrested in Nottingham after a conviction warrant was issued by authorities in his home country.

Botters appeared at Westminster Magistrates Court today wearing a blue T-shirt and a navy jumper, while being aided by a Latvian interpreter.

Shyan MacTavish, defending, previously said there was a ‘high risk’ the sex offender would be subjected to ‘intimidation’ and ‘extortion’ by inmates in the Balkan country.
