Arrest warrant for 'Evil 8' case accused

An arrest warrant has been issued for a man associated with the so-called "Evil 8" case involving a girl who was aged between 11 and 13 when she was pimped out by her father.

Alfred John Impicciatore was due to face trial in the WA District Court this week after he allegedly sexually abused the girl, but failed to turn up, so an arrest warrant was issued.

Impicciatore, who has previously failed to appear in court when out on bail, pleaded not guilty to sexually penetrating the girl and possessing child exploitation material.
