Jason Longhurst: Manhunt for York rapist absent from trial

A manhunt has been launched for a rapist who failed to appear for his sentencing and went on the run.

Jason Vincent Longhurst, 44, was due to be jailed for the sex attack on an unconscious teenager he had throttled with a jumper. He did not attend his York Crown Court trial, but was found guilty and sentenced to nine years in his absence. North Yorkshire Police has appealed for people to report sightings of Longhurst or details of his whereabouts.Describing him as a "sickening predator", Sgt Hannah McPeake said he had "shown no remorse for his actions or the pain he has inflicted on his victim".

At Wednesday's sentencing hearing Longhurst, of Lindsey Avenue, York, was also placed on the sex offenders register indefinitely.

White privilege is dangerous

so not even tagged, wow how stupid!

Sounds a bit like Prince Andrew, who is also acting like a fugitive by hiding out at Balmoral. It is also very disappointing that the Queen, who represents law and order more than anyone else, is helping her son evade the law. She looks like an accessory, in fact.

“Appear for sentencing” - like he was going to skip up the steps FFS

And he was allowed to be on bail because?

Talk to our Texas governor, GregAbbott_TX; he can smell them out.

Why is someone on trial for such a violent offence not remanded? Bonkers

Theres a fucking surprise

Governor Abbott can catch him!

Why was a convicted rapist not remanded to await sentencing?

Probably followed the normal type police grant bail to to Pakistan

Why wasn't he in custody? And if he was then how tf did he escape? System is beyond fucked
