Craig Shaw, 37, of Calle Londres, Benidorm faces 19 sexual offence charges against children in Swindon and Blackpool between 2007 and 2009.

He faces a further charge of serious sexual assault against a man in Swindon in 2009, and of failing to notify police that he had changed his address.

His 22nd charge relates to contacting a child under the age of 16 in 2010 which he was prevented from doing so by a sexual offences prevention order.

Magistrates issued a warrant for his arrest, not backed for bail.
