Joseph O’Neill appeared at Stockport Magistrates Court on July 24, 2025, for his first hearing.He is charged with failing to comply with notification requirements under the Sex Offenders Register, as outlined in the SOA 2003.
The court was told the case has the reference number 06JJ0131325.

Prosecutors say the case underscores ongoing efforts to ensure sex offenders comply with legal obligations to protect the public.
The court continues to monitor the matter closely.
