NORMAN SIMPSON FROM ST. HELENS AND NEWQUAY: SEX OFFENDER BREACHES ORDER IN DEVON AND LANCASHIRE
In a recent development in the ongoing legal saga surrounding Norman Simpson, the 55-year-old man now residing in Newquay has pleaded guilty to violating a Sexual Offences Prevention Order.The breach involved him being in the company of a 16-year-old boy inside his vehicle, an act that directly contravened the restrictions imposed by the court.
Simpson, originally from Claremont Road in Billinge, was accused of flouting the court’s directives at St Helens Magistrates Court on October 17, 2008.
The allegations specify that on May 27, 2009, Simpson was found with the minor at London Fields in Billinge, without any legitimate reason or justification for their presence together.
This incident highlights the ongoing concerns about Simpson’s conduct following the court’s initial orders.
Back in October 2008, Simpson was subjected to a court order that explicitly prohibited him from approaching or communicating with individuals under the age of 18.
This order was part of a broader effort to restrict his interactions with minors, given his history of sexual offences against children.
The court’s decision came after Simpson was sentenced to eight weeks in jail at St Helens Magistrates’ Court for breaching an interim Sexual Offences Prevention Order issued on August 20 of the same year.
The order was specifically designed to prevent Simpson from engaging with a 13-year-old boy, who remains unnamed for legal reasons.
Despite the court’s clear restrictions, Simpson was found to have already violated the order within just a few weeks of its issuance, having come into contact with the minor.
This pattern of behaviour prompted serious concern among judicial authorities.
District Judge Ian Lomax publicly condemned Simpson’s actions, describing him as ‘a risk to young people’.
He emphasized the lack of respect Simpson has shown for court orders, stating, “You have shown by your behaviour that you appear to have little respect for court orders.
I recognise that you have been offending for several years with no end in sight.” The judge’s comments underscore the ongoing danger Simpson poses to minors and the failure of previous legal measures to deter his conduct.
The case continues to draw attention to the importance of strict enforcement of court orders in protecting vulnerable young individuals from repeat offenders like Simpson.
