A 70-year-old British man, who was serving a 20-year sentence in a Moroccan prison for child assault, passed away while imprisoned, British media reported.

Robert Bill’s arrest dates back to June 2013, when locals near a fuel station in Tetouan heard a girl’s cries coming from a vehicle with Spanish plates that he was using.

Investigations revealed that Bill was involved in the kidnapping and assault of two additional young girls in Tetouan and Chefchaouen.

Prior to his conviction in Morocco, Bill was convicted in the UK in 2009 for attempting to abduct a five-year-old girl in Holywell.

Released in 2012, he relocated to southern Spain, where authorities issued a warrant for his arrest on suspicion of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl in Malaga.

Fleeing to Morocco, Bill was apprehended by Moroccan authorities and imprisoned until his recent death.
