Police are hunting a double rapist jailed for life for kidnapping a schoolgirl after he went on the run from a bail hostel.
Sean Perry, 46, had been released on licence despite having previously escaped from an open prison.
He was jailed for life in December 2002 after he admitted kidnapping a 14-year-old schoolgirl from a bus stop in Leeds.

Courts heard how he grabbed the victim by her hair, dragged her to a dark alleyway and put his hand over her face. He was only stopped when a boy playing in a nearby garden alerted his grandfather who shouted at him to stop.

He had previously been jailed for four years at Leeds Crown Court in 1990 for raping a 15-year-old girl and for attempted rape.
Just months after his early release from prison, he raped a 20-year-old woman while he was studying art at De Montford University in Leicester. He was jailed for eight years in 1993.
