Police are appealing for help in locating a child sex offender who has gone missing from an independent hospital in north Hampshire.
Stephen Munden, 54, left the hospital in Winchfield, near Hook, at about 6.15pm on Tuesday, 21 April, and hasn’t been seen since.
Mr Munden is described as about 5ft 8ins tall, of a heavy build, and has dark hair. He did have a very full beard, but it is believed he may have shaved it off prior to leaving the hospital.
Mr Munden was detained at the facility under a hospital order after being sentenced for sexual offences in 2014.
These were possessing, making, and attempting to make indecent images of children and sexual assault on child under 13.
If you see him, know where he is or have any information which could help us locate him, please call Hampshire Police on 101.
