A 79-year-old paedophile missionary has been given a sexual offences prevention order after being jailed.
William Rogers was sentenced to two years’ imprisonment at Ipswich Crown Court last month following his return to the UK after abusing children in the Domincan Republic.
The Jehovah’s Witness illegally fled the UK eight years ago while he was supposed to be living in Norwich Road, Ipswich.
He had previously admitted failing to comply with the notification requirements within the terms of the Sexual Offences Act 2003.
Rogers told officers he had been living in the Dominican Republic since 2006 working as a Jehovah’s Witness.
He confessed that while in the Caribbean he had been teaching and molesting children.
