BRAMPTON SEX OFFENDER WHO FLOUTED COURT ORDER GIVEN 'LAST CHANCE'
A convicted sex offender named Martin Hallett, aged 34, who was registered as a sex offender after attempting to engage in sexual activity with a child and possessing indecent images of children, failed to notify the police of his recent personal circumstances as required by his registration.
He had a court-imposed condition to provide annual updates, which he neglected to do in July.
Hallett pleaded guilty to breaching his registration conditions.
When confronted by police, he responded, “I just forgot.” The court heard that Hallett had previously received a 20-month sentence in 2017 at a courts martial and had been given a suspended jail term in May 2023 for breaching his sexual harm prevention order and notification requirements.
The judge, Recorder Michael Duck KC, told Hallett that this was his 'final chance' and imposed a 12-month community order with 120 hours of unpaid work, despite acknowledging the progress Hallett had made in addressing his behaviour and rebuilding his life.
