Nigel Rowell is thought to be using dating sites to prey on gay men in the United Kingdom. Police have said Rowell, 44, is in Sussex, England and could be using dating websites and personal ads to steal from trangender and gay men. Sussex Police think he has been in Brighton, Hove, Worthing Eastbourne and Horsham in recent weeks.
Rowell, who sometimes goes by the name Nick or Nicholas, is thought to befriend potential victims to gain their confidence before stealing from them, but is not thought to be violent. Rowell, who is not local to Sussex, was released from a prison in Kent on a weekend licence in June and never went back, so he is also unlawfully at large.
A police spokesman said: “Rowell is known to be in the Sussex area and it is believed that he may be targeting potential victims for theft in gay male and transgender communities through Gadar and other dating websites, as well as the Friday Ad paper, and adult video dating web sites.”
He is described as white, 6ft1ins tall with brown hair and blue eyes, and a northern or Midlands accent.
Anyone who has any information about his whereabouts is asked to contact Horsham CID on 0845 60 70 999.
Have you seen this guy in your local gay bar? The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office added a special bulletin to its Web site today about escaped child rapist Adrian Cruz, displaying more photos of Cruz in the hopes someone will spot him. Scroll down to see the new pictures. As you'll recall, Cruz was the guy who slipped past inattentive deputies at the Superior Court last month while awaiting a hearing on sexual misconduct charges. At the time, he was already serving a life sentence in prison for having sex with -- and impregnating -- a 9-year-old.Cruz, a former ice-cream truck driver, is believed to be "frequenting gay-friendly establishment and day-labor sites," the sheriff's Web site states. Here's what one sheriff's official told KTAR news (92.3 FM):
"Since he's been in custody with the department of corrections, he has somewhat changed his sexual orientation," said Deputy Doug Matteson with MCSO.
"It's not necessarily that he doesn't prefer one over the other - he wants to get his sexual appetite fed any way he can. So it doesn't matter whether he'll take women, men or young girls."
