Description
A 53-year-old man from Sible Hedingham has been jailed for breaching a Sexual Harm Prevention Order.
In January, Trevor Day, of Southey Green, deleted his internet and chat history, failed to register an HP laptop, withheld seven USB devices from police inspection and downloaded the banned apps Snapchat, Telegram and Discord – all in breach of a 2020 court order.
He also contacted two teenagers, a girl and a boy, and discussed sexual acts, the boy’s sexual experience and masturbation with them.
Day admitted two counts of attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child and four counts of breaching the SHPO.
At Chelmsford Crown Court, Circuit Judge Richard Wilkin sentenced him to three years in prison, imposed a further SHPO, barred him from working with children or vulnerable adults and placed him on the sex offenders register for 10 years. He was also ordered to pay £228 to the victims of crime fund.
