FACE OF CHILD SEX OFFENDER JAILED FOR JUST 2 YEARS FOR 'MANIPULATING' RESTRICTIONS
A child sex offender has been jailed for over two years after he breached a Sexual Harm Prevention Order.
Adan Bath, 41, repeatedly breached his 10-year order, which had been placed on him in 2023.
Two years ago, Bath was found to have committed offences, including three counts of attempting to engage in sexual communications with a child, and was sentenced in October 2023.
As part of his sentence, he had to follow strict guidelines to be monitored by police.
Guidelines included informing officers within three days if he acquires a device which can access the internet, not deleting search history, and notifying officers of any accounts used on chat forums, messaging websites and electronic chat applications.
During a routine visit from police officers, it was found that these were breached.
During checks on Adan’s device, police discovered discrepancies in his search history and found he had been using a family member’s phone.
Follow up enquiries into Bath’s activities found that he had breached his SHPO on numerous occasions, including selling a device in Harlow, failing to disclose his use of networking and dating platforms, and deleting messages and browsing history.
After being interviewed in July 2024 the 41-year-old of HMP Chelmsford was charged with 13 counts of breaching his SHPO.
He pled guilty and was jailed for two and a half years when he appeared at Chelmsford Crown Court yesterday (Wednesday, October 29).
His SHPO remains in place until October 2033 and he remains on the sex offenders’ register.
Specialist police officer, Jai Rivers, said: “This case highlights the importance of our monitoring work.
By actively managing his SHPO, we were able to look at his behaviour and, crucially, investigate where he was not adhering to the strict guidelines.
“Bath thought he could ignore and try to manipulate these restrictions, but that is not the case, and he is rightly serving a prison sentence for these actions.
Our work is challenging, but vital, law enforcement across the internet is committed to keeping everyone safe.”
