EXCLUSIVE

One of Britain's most wanted paedophiles has been moved today - just hours after we exclusively revealed he'd been housed in Kent.

Jason Trask has now been moved to an undisclosed location, as a result of the Medway Messenger and KentOnline publishing his address.

The 63-year-old has not long been deported to Britain from Holland after serving a jail sentence for possessing indecent images.

He has also been convicted of sexually abusing children in various parts of this country since the early 60s.

Trask fled Britain in 2001 after allegedly trying to groom a 12-year-old boy into allowing him to perform a sex act on him in public toilets in Strood.

He had been abroad since then, but after serving a six-year sentence for possessing the indecent images, he has now been banned from the country for at least 10 years.

Trask has numerous convictions for serious child sexual abuse including having sex with girls under the age of 16 and performing indecent acts on young vulnerable boys.

He was named in March on the Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) Centre's "most wanted" website after going missing when he returned to Britain.

Trask, who used to live in Maidstone, later handed himself in at a London police station and up until this morning was living in a hostel in Frindsbury Road.

Area police commander Ch Supt Steve Corbishley said: "Managing people in the community is something the police and other agencies have done successfully for an extensive period of time.

"We have now moved him to an undisclosed location."
