A MAGISTRATE in London has issued a warrant for the arrest of John Brown, the brother of Dana Rosemary Scallon, after he failed to appear in court on child abuse charges.
Brown has addresses at Lilly Hill Road, Bracknell, Berkshire and in Urris, Co Donegal.
He was charged on May 22 with three counts of indecent assault on a girl under the age of 16
He had been bailed to appear at Hendon Magistrates’ Court in London yesterday but didn’t turn up. A magistrate ordered his immediate arrest.
It’s understood the Metropolitan Police may now draw up a European arrest warrant if they believe he is living in Inishowen.
The charges relate to allegations made by a 45-year-old woman to London police in October 2011.
In September last year, police received a further complaint from a 52-year-old woman. Mr Brown is well-known in both building and music circles here in Ireland and in America and Britain.
Anyone who sees Mr Brown is asked to contact their nearest Garda station.
