MICHAEL JEROME FROM ST ALBANS SENTENCED TO 3 MORE YEARS FOR COURT ORDER VIOLATION

Michael Jerome, a 33-year-old convicted sex offender currently incarcerated at HMP Bure, has been handed down an additional three-year prison sentence following a serious breach of court-imposed restrictions. The violation involved Jerome writing a letter to a schoolgirl and attempting to establish contact with other minors, actions that directly contravened the court's orders.

Jerome's criminal history is extensive, including previous convictions for child abuse and possession of indecent images. Despite the court's clear prohibition on any form of contact with minors, he managed to circumvent security measures to send a letter inquiring about her interests. This act was viewed as a blatant and heinous breach of the court's directives, demonstrating a disturbing disregard for the legal restrictions placed upon him.

The judge overseeing the case described Jerome's conduct as a serious violation of the court's authority and emphasized the ongoing risks he poses to the community. The court's decision underscores the importance of strict enforcement of restrictions on offenders like Jerome, especially given his history and the potential danger he continues to represent. The sentencing highlights the judiciary's commitment to protecting minors and maintaining public safety in the face of repeated violations by known offenders from St Albans.
