Simon Gordon Davies, 63, is wanted on an outstanding NSW Police warrant for 18 child sexual and indecent assault offences across the city between 1981 and 1987.
The warrant for the arrest of Mr Davies was issued in September 2016. Despite extensive inquiries, police have been unable to locate him. He is believed to be living in the United Kingdom or Europe.
