A notorious criminal and sex predator who dressed as a priest and conned people across Ireland could be heading here again after he walked out of an English probation hostel.Police believe John Cronin (37) is still in the West Midlands, but may be planning to travel to Ireland or Scotland where he has committed earlier offences.
Cronin was being monitored by a public protection agency after being released on licence while serving a 28-month prison sentence for fraud.
The 20-stone fraudster was jailed for life in 1992 for a sickening sex attack on a Conservative Party worker.
He gained entry to her Edinburgh apartment after disguising himself as a priest.
While on early release, he committed a bank robbery in Waterford in 2002 and was jailed here.
