A DANGEROUS paedophile who went on the run in East Lancashire is facing a prison sentence after becoming one of the first in the country to breach a sex offenders' order.
Michael Wilson, 38, sparked a huge manhunt when he went missing after probation officers put him on a train in Accrington and told him to return to Liverpool.
Wilson was arrested three days later in Blackpool and pleaded guilty to breaching the order when he appeared at Southport magistrates.
He was remanded in custody and will be sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court.
