A man has been convicted for a breach of a sexual harm prevention order (SHPO).

A man was arrested in Ipswich on Thursday 4 January on suspicion of breach of a sexual harm prevention order.

He was later taken to Martlesham Police Investigation Centre for further questioning.

35-year-old Adam Wyles of no fixed abode was subsequently charged with a breach of sexual harm prevention order whereby he accessed social media without the knowledge of his Public Protection Officer.

He was remanded and appeared before Ipswich Magistrates Court on Friday 5 January where he received a 12-week imprisonment suspended for 12 months and was ordered to complete 80 hours of unpaid work.

A sexual harm prevention order (SHPO) is a court order that can be requested by the police, or court when there is a specific concern about an individual. This court order will be requested to prevent a person from engaging in a particular activity and for positive obligations, such as regular polygraph testing.
