A NEWPORT man who skipped bail after being arrested on suspicion of causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity has been arrested and charged.

Peter Phillips, 56, did not answer bail on January 11 after being arrested in November 2011. He was found in Scunthorpe on Tuesday night.

Gwent Police have charged him with making and possessing indecent images of children and inciting a girl aged 13 to 15 to engage in sexual activity.

He was remanded last night and is due before Caerphilly Magistrates Court today.

Gwent Police thanked the public for their help in finding Phillips.
