For 20 years the elderly UK man has blended in, assimilated with society, becoming a family man with a passion for music. His dark secrets have remained hidden, even from his South African wife and stepdaughter.Those secrets finally became public when the man, who runs his own "old-time music" DJ-functions business, struck a lonely figure in the dock of the Randburg magistrates court last week.With bright orange hair, the pale-skinned man asked politely for legal aid.Several of his victims - now young women - broke their silence in 2010 alerting UK police to what had happened to them.Between 1975 and 1983 he allegedly sexually molested 12 young girls in the Cambridgeshire area, including his daughters.But his crimes went undetected for years.UK authorities, who recently learnt of the accused's location in South Africa, are remaining mum on the crimes, only confirming the man's arrest.Tim Goddard, Cambridgeshire constabulary spokesman, said: "A 69-year-old man has been arrested in South Africa on suspicion of historical sexual offences that are alleged to have occurred in Cambridgeshire between the 1970s and early 1980s."It is, however, feared he may have, after "fleeing" the UK in the 1990s after he divorced his first wife, continued his crimes in Africa before settling down in Gauteng.His arrest, say police and justice department sources, highlights how South Africa is favoured by foreign fugitives from justice.A prosecutor in the Randburg Magistrate's Court said: "This is not unique. The day he appeared, alleged Israeli mobster Shai Musli was in the exact same court for the start of his extradition hearing."They [international fugitives] come here because they know South Africa is safe. They know that once they are here they can simply disappear."He said the frequency of extradition cases they dealt with was increasing, with police and the judiciary being called on to assist in tracking international fugitives.An Interpol source said the police received at least 30 extradition requests from their international counterparts monthly."The police managed to track him down to a house in Randburg, which belonged to his ex-wife, where they arrested him."Justice Department spokesman Mthunzi Mhaga said though he could not provide an account, he had noticed a decrease in extradition requests, although mutual assistance in investigations was increasing...
