Thomas Leopold, 42, a college principal, absconded days before his trial after having large doses of radiotherapy treatment for a thyroid condition. A judge has issued a warrant for his arrest, warning police he could harm anyone he comes into contact with. Judge John Price said: 'Please warn officers that when he is arrested he might be radioactive. This is not a joke Doctors believe Leopold's radioactivity level could be dangerous for up to six weeks after he was treated with what is thought to be iodine on February 3. The principal who runs a private tutorial college called The Tutors Group in Hammersmith, West London, is facing five charges of downloading indecent images of children dating back to 2006. Southwark Crown Court heard that he skipped bail four days before his trial to board an overnight ferry to Ireland, under the nose of the police. Leopold was stopped by Special Branch officers on February 5 at Fishguard in Wales after boarding a ferry to Rosslare. Officers questioned the suspect, but they released him after he showed them his radiation card and said his bail conditions had been varied to allow him to visit his mother in Ireland. He has not been seen since. The alarm was raised when Leopold failed to show at his trial on February 9. Six days earlier, Leopold is thought to have been given radioactive iodine, a liquid treatment which travels through the bloodstream, to help with his overactive thyroid condition. The radiation dies away on its own, but patients can still pass on radiation through urine, saliva and sweat days after the treatment.
