A sick paedophile on the FBI's 'most wanted' list has been jailed following his arrest in Dartford.

Gerard Zalewski sexually abused a 13-year-old girl over several days after grooming her online.

Police confirmed he coaxed her to send indecent images of herself before they arranged to meet at a park in Bamber Bridge, Lancashire.

Zalewski abused another 13-year-old girl in 2004 but failed to appear for sentencing two years later, leaving the US.

He was ordered in his absence to serve five to 20 years.

After the latest incident police tracked the former Polish national to Dartford and he was arrested on June 21.

He was jailed for eight years with four years on licence at Preston Crown Court after pleading guilty to two counts of sexual activity with a child, meeting a child following sexual grooming, making and possessing indecent photographs of a child and false imprisonment.
