Description
A sex offender has been jailed for not registering with a police station after being released from prison.
Christina Moore, 67, previously of Chandler's Ford, had been released from HMP The Verne on Portland but failed to register at a police station within three days of her release.
Moore, whose address was given as HMP The Verne, Portland, Dorset, appeared at Southampton Crown Court on January 29 to be sentenced for failing to comply with the notification requirement of the sex offender register.
Sex offenders on the register must comply with several requirements, including sharing personal details with their local police station, such as their name, address, and date of birth, within three days and annually.
After entering a not guilty plea on May 30, 2025, she was found guilty on December 8.
James Kellam prosecuted the case, and Lisa Bowles mitigated.
Judge Bill Mousley sentenced Moore in the defendant's absence to a year and a half in prison.
Moore must also pay a £187 surcharge.
