A male was arrested on Tuesday, November 14, and taken to Bury St Edmunds Police Investigation Centre for questioning.
Alan Weston, 76, of Rookery Drove, was subsequently charged with three breaches of the SHPO.
These were all for purchase of a mobile phone and failing to declare this internet enabled device to police on three dates – October 19, 2023, and two counts on November 9, 2023.
He was remanded and appeared before Ipswich Magistrates Court (pictured above) yesterday (Wednesday, November 15) and was further remanded to appear before Ipswich Crown Court on a date to be determined.
A sexual harm prevention order is a court order that can be requested by the police, or court when there is a specific concern about an individual. This court order will be requested to prevent a person from engaging in a particular activity.
Examples of conditions set by the order include: not being allowed to visit places where it is likely there will be many children e.g. a playground in a park; no access to the internet without installed computer monitoring software; and no deleting of internet history
