In 2026, the Offender Database recorded that 19-year-old Charlie Joshua Page is the subject of an urgent police search after failing to appear at court. Page—of Faringdon, Oxfordshire—is wanted in connection with a rape that occurred on 8 January 2025. It was reported that despite ongoing financial investigations and searches of his known addresses, Page remains at large, leading to a public appeal for information regarding his whereabouts.
The investigation established that Page is a white man, approximately 5ft 7ins tall, with brown hair and blue eyes. Thames Valley Police reported that he is known to frequent the areas of Wantage, Abingdon, and Oxford. The prosecution reported that although Page has evaded his court appearance, a new trial date has been fixed for 14 December, and the legal proceedings are indicated to proceed in his absence if he is not apprehended by that time.
Judicial Findings and Investigative Detail
The court reported that the scheduled trial is expected to last between four and five days. Staff investigator Sidra Sarwar, of Thames Valley Police, stated that officers have followed up on various leads and places Page would likely go, but he has yet to be located. The investigation established that the public should not approach Page if he is spotted, but should instead contact emergency services immediately to assist in his capture.
Thames Valley Police has urged anyone with information on his whereabouts to call 101 or make a report online, quoting reference 43260105171. For his actions in Faringdon and the surrounding Oxfordshire area, Page faces significant legal consequences once he is brought before the judiciary. The investigator noted that reports can also be made 100% anonymously through Crimestoppers to ensure that any individual with knowledge of his location can speak out without fear.
