Police in Lincolnshire are appealing for information after a convicted rapist absconded from prison.

Paul Marshall, 53, was reported missing from HMP North Sea Camp on Tuesday, 22 November.

He is serving a life sentence for rape and wounding with intent.

Marshall is thought to be in the Mansfield or Nottingham area.

Lincolnshire Police say he should not be approached.

The incident comes nine months after an "extremely dangerous" sex offender absconded from North Sea Camp.

Paul Robson was later arrested and given an additional eight-month sentence.
