The man, who has kidnapped and attempted to rape a 10 year-old child in the past, escaped from his Exeter bail hostel, where he had been released under license. Police believe he is still in the area and have launched a manhunt to find him.

Sleman has been described as a white, 5ft11 man with cropped ginger hair and numerous arm tattoos. Anyone with any information has been advised to call the police on 100 with the reference DE/13/8408.

A police spokesman said: “My message to the public would be to not approach him as he is a violent man. If they see him in person they should call 999 immediately.

“We don’t want to worry the public but it is vital he is caught.”
