A paedophile has been found guilty of possessing a knife after going missing while out on bail.

Guy Lawrence, 48, pleaded guilty to possession of a bladed article at Stevenage Magistrates Court last Wednesday.

Lawrence was sentenced to 12 weeks imprisonment to be served concurrently with his other sentences.

He was sented to 15 months in prison after pleading guilty to possessing more than 300 indecent images of children at Cambridge Crown Court earlier this month.
