BARROW MAN JAILED FOR BREACHING SEX OFFENDER REGISTER REQUIREMENTS
A MAN has been jailed after he failed to comply with requirements of the sex offenders register.Tarus Burnett pleaded guilty to the offence at South Cumbria Magistrates’ Court on August 4.
With his guilty plea at the first opportunity, the 22-year-old admitted he failed without reasonable excuse to register his address to police in Barrow as no fixed abode.
Court records show Burnett committed the offence while subject to a 16-week suspended sentence for 18 months after breaching his sexual risk order.
The sentence was imposed at Blackburn Magistrates’ Court on May 22 this year.
The particulars of that offence involved the defendant being present in an address with children under 16 without approval of social services which he was prohibited from doing by a sexual risk order made by Preston Magistrates Court on February 23, 2022.
Magistrates activated the suspended sentence order in full and imposed an additional four weeks imprisonment giving a total of 20 weeks.
In their sentencing remarks, they said the defendant presented ‘an ongoing risk to the community’.
