MAN FAILS TO COMPLY WITH SEXUAL HARM PREVENTION ORDER IN COURT
Derrick Finch appeared at Hastings Magistrates Court today for his first appearance.The hearing involved allegations that he breached a sexual harm prevention order and an interim SHPO.
The court was told that Finch may have failed to adhere to the restrictions imposed by the order.
The case was listed under reference 47EH1377125 and was heard in the absence of Finch, who did not enter a plea today.
Magistrates scheduled the case for a future hearing where more details are likely to be discussed.
The breach of such orders is a serious offence, and courts take these violations seriously to protect the public.
Finch's next court date will be set soon, and he remains in custody until then.
The case highlights ongoing efforts by authorities to enforce measures aimed at safeguarding the community from individuals with past convictions relating to sexual harm.
