MAN JAILED FOR SEX OFFENDER REQUIREMENTS BREACH

MAN JAILED FOR SEX OFFENDER REQUIREMENTS BREACH

A man who previously served a prison sentence for child sexual offences in Tamworth has been jailed again after failing to comply with his Sex Offender Register requirements.

On Friday (2 October), Danny Richardson, 34, of Atherstone, Warwickshire, was sentenced to one-year-and-four-months in prison at Stafford Crown Court after admitting six counts of failing to comply with Sex Offender Register notification requirements, two counts of supplying false information in purported compliance with a notification requirement and breaching a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) / interim SHPO.

Officers interviewed Richardson in 2024 after responding to intelligence that he had not provided accurate information relating to where he lived and visited.

He also used an alias, opened a new bank account and had access to a second mobile phone, which he did not tell police about.

Officers brought him in for questioning, leading to the charges and his further jail term.

Police Offender Manager, Sonia Wiseman, from our Management of Sexual Offenders and Violent Offenders team (MOSOVO), said: “This outcome is welcomed and sends a clear message that breaches of Sex Offender Notification Requirements will not be tolerated in Staffordshire.

“We remain committed to active, robust management of registered sex offenders, intervening promptly where risks are identified and bring those individuals back through the court system.”
