Six month manhunt over after sex offender Colin Franklin spotted at a Holiday Inn
8:40am Wednesday 16th May 2012 in News By Robert Fisk
Colin Franklin has been arrested after being spotted at a Holiday Inn
A SIX month long manhunt for a convicted sex offender is over after he was spotted at a hotel.
Colin Franklin had been on the run since being released from prison last December when he breached a requirement of his sex offender registration by failing to tell police his address.
Franklin, who lived in and around the Beckenham area before being jailed in September 2009, has now been arrested after being spotted by a member of the public at a Holiday Inn in Stoke Newington.
The 46-year-old is now in custody.
Franklin is on the sex offenders register for life and also has a sexual offences prevention order stopping him from entering or travelling on the London Underground or Docklands Light Railway for five years.
He was given a three year jail sentence at Southwark Crown Court after being found guilty of sexual assault in February 2010.
During his trial the court heard he made lewd comments to two train passengers at Manor House and Belsize Park Tube stations in September 2008.
On both occasions he groped the women's breasts before fleeing as the train doors opened at the platforms.
In a third attack, also in September 2008, Franklin repeatedly groped a woman from behind as she stepped off a train at Angel Tube station.
Franklin was found not guilty of two other counts of sexual assault during his trial in September 2009.

You lot waste so much time thinking I'm someone else. If you have any proof post it up. I have asked you to do this before and you all went silent.
There's only one wall and he has only one account. If you think different then report it to the NS. Put up or shut up.

Karl and Tony ( another failed BNP mug ) hate the fact Tom owns them. He dangles the line and BANG the morons have to bite. They just cant resist. I thought I was pretty good but Tom is dah man. Perhaps he is Erastus Piggott, now ETP is THE KING !!
What make me roll around is Karldeadloss Daily or is it Daley, cant get his small mind around we are all different people. He never tires though of having the p1ss taken out of him.
