British man who fled the UK after being charged with 35 counts of child molestation and dissemination of child pornography has been arrested in Thailand.
Taylor had been on the run from British authorities since 1998
David Charles Taylor, 66, is wanted for molesting children as young as 18 months and selling images of the abuse online.
He has been on the run for more than a decade after escaping to Thailand in 1998.
Thai police, who made the arrest in Nakhon Ratchasima, 260km (160 miles) north east of Bangkok, suspect he continued to abuse boys when he arrived in the kingdom.
"He sent back footage to the UK and his conspirators there created DVDs and sold them over the internet," immigration police officer Colonel Wiwat Khamchamnan said.
Police in Britain have been hunting Taylor in connection with allegations that he abused boys and girls aged between 18 months and 12 years old.
He was originally arrested and charged in Leicestershire but escaped to Thailand during the investigation.
The British embassy in Bangkok confirmed it had contacted immigration police about the case and the Thai criminal court issued an arrest warrant on December 3.
British authorities will apply for extradition, a spokeswoman said.

Mediaeval punishment would fit the bill here. He should be hung, drawn and quartered AFTER having his balls cut off!
