A FORMER teacher made arrangements to commit sexual acts on an '11-year-old girl'.

Police are searching for a missing sex offender who previously raped a teenage girl.

Christopher Clarke, 38, is wanted by police for breaching his sex offender's notification requirements.

He is on the sex offender's register after the rape and sexual assault of a girl, aged under 16, in 1997.

Officers have been carrying out enquiries in Southampton to locate him and are now asking the public for help in finding him.

Clarke is described as white, 5 ft 9 in, with brown hair and may have facial hair.

Detective Inspector Howard Broadribb said: "We believe that Clarke is most likely to be in the Southampton area."

"We have not been able to locate him since he failed to report at a police station as part of his requirements as a registered sex offender."

"We have been carrying out a number of enquiries to locate him and are now asking the public for assistance in finding him."

"If you have seen him or know where he is, please call us immediately."

Clarke has previously been hunted by police for a similar offence.

In June 2018, he appeared among Hampshire's Most Wanted list, put together by charity Crimestoppers.

An appeal was also launched for Clarke in December 2004 after an alleged assault earlier that year.
