Detectives from Greater Manchester Police have issued a photograph of Colin Molloy as they look to
The 44-year-old was last known to be working in Blackpool in 2007. He has lived in Baguley, Withington and Sale and is also thought to have links with Durham - but detectives are appealing for any sightings of him across the country.
This image was taken around 10 years ago, but officers believe his appearance may not have changed significantly.
He is described as being white, 5ft 10ins tall, of slim build and of scruffy appearance. He also has bad teeth and a squint in his right eye. Molloy is known to do work as a handyman or gardener for cash.
Police are investigating allegations Molloy raped a seven-year-old girl and another girl who was aged four at the time. Officers would also like to trace him in connection with an allegation of sexual assault against a boy.
