A FUGITIVE sex offender from Middlewich found in a caravan up a farm track was dealing crack cocaine while on the run.

Callum Lord, of Sutton Lane, had white powder and crystals, £450 in cash, scales, snap bags, and cut ends of plastic bags when police found his mobile home hideout on June 26, last year.

He was caught after police acting on intelligence about his drug dealing in the Middlewich area traced him to the farm track near Church Minshull.

The 26-year-old was wanted for breaching his bail conditions and failing to show up at court for two breaches of a sexual harm prevention order made against him on May 4, 2022.

As well as the drugs, police found two mobile phones in the caravan.

A drugs expert confirmed the white crystals found in the caravan were crack cocaine.

When he was arrested, Lord told police he was addicted to the drugs, and they belonged to him.

Lord pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply class A drugs before magistrates on September 18.

He returned to Chester Crown Court on Tuesday, November 4, where His Honour Judge Patrick Thompson jailed him for two years and eight months.

Judge Thompson also order the drugs to be destroyed, and the cash to be forfeited.

It will be added to a fund used in the fight against drug crime.

On Friday, November 7, Rowan Barnett-Davies, a 23-year-old resident of Brecon Road, Hirwaun, was sentenced to eight years in prison at Newport Crown Court.

He had previously pleaded guilty to multiple serious charges involving child sexual offences, including 21 counts of causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity, three counts of engaging in sexual communication with a child, 11 counts of distributing indecent images, and seven counts of possessing indecent, prohibited, and extreme images.

The investigation by South Wales Police revealed that Barnett-Davies had exploited 20 victims, all aged between 12 and 16 at the time of the offences. Officers received intelligence regarding Barnett-Davies’ possession of child sexual abuse material, which prompted a comprehensive investigation into his activities.

The investigation escalated on December 20, 2024, when West Mercia Police reported that Barnett-Davies was potentially engaging in sexual communication with a 13-year-old girl. The girl’s mother alerted police after discovering that her daughter had been communicating online with Barnett-Davies, who allegedly sent her money in exchange for indecent images. Responding swiftly, officers from the South Wales Police Online Investigation Team (POLIT) visited Barnett-Davies’ home the following day.

Upon arrival at his residence, officers found Barnett-Davies asleep in his bedroom, with two mobile phones positioned next to him. He was arrested on suspicion of possession of indecent images of children and engaging in sexual communication with a child.

As the investigation progressed, further searches of Barnett-Davies’ home led to the seizure of multiple mobile phones.  All three phones found in his bedroom were confirmed to belong to him, and he provided officers with the necessary passwords to access the content stored on them.

In a second arrest on March 19, 2025, officers again located Barnett-Davies at his home. He was arrested on suspicion of additional offences, including possession and distribution of indecent images of children and inciting a child to engage in sexual activity. Once more, he was cautioned, and the investigation proceeded with the seizure of another mobile phone.

Following a thorough examination of the evidence against him, Barnett-Davies pleaded guilty to the charges.

Detective Constable Amy Partridge of South Wales Police stated:

"The conviction of Rowan Barnett-Davies highlights our commitment to protecting children from exploitation. We will continue to work tirelessly to bring those who prey on the vulnerable to justice.

“The court's decision sends a clear message that such despicable actions will not be tolerated, and offenders will face severe consequences. I urge anyone who suspects child exploitation to report it immediately.”

A rapist who targeted three women during a campaign of serious sexual offending lasting just over a month has been jailed.  

Mihai-Nicolae Patran was found guilty of rape, sexual assault and sexual exposure following a trial at the High Court in Glasgow.  

Prosecutors played CCTV footage which showed the 34-year-old travelling on a train between Perth and Stirling on 22 October 2023. 

He went on to indecently expose himself while seated in a busy carriage and in the presence of a 19-year-old woman.  

The teenager was able to alert the conductor with the police subsequently called.   

Just weeks later, on 26 November 2023, Patran emerged from an alleyway and attacked a 29-year-old woman as she walked along Mitchell Street in Glasgow. 

He blocked her from leaving an enclosed doorway and raped her. 

Patran was later arrested and appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court where he sexually assaulted a third female on 28 November 2023. 

Prosecutors used a variety of evidence, including CCTV, mobile phone footage, DNA, and witness accounts to build a compelling case against the offender, who did not know any of the victims.  

He was convicted of all three charges on 14 October 2025. 

On 10 November 2025, at the High Court in Glasgow, Patran, of Romania, was given a 12-year extended sentence with nine years in custody

His name has been added to the sex offenders register indefinitely.  

Faye Cook, Procurator Fiscal for High Court Sexual Offences, said:  

“Mihai-Nicolae Patran poses a significant danger to women and is a sexual opportunist who offends in high-risk situations.  

“The prosecution identified and drew together multiple strands of evidence, including CCTV footage, which supported the harrowing accounts given by all three victims.  

“This conviction would not have been possible without these women, and I hope it brings some comfort that Patran has now been held accountable.  

“This type of stranger offending, while rare, will not be tolerated and Scotland’s prosecutors will continue to fully support those affected as we seek to secure justice.”

An East Malling man has been jailed after he was found guilty of raping a woman who had passed out following a night out in a pub. 

Steven Moore exploited and abused his vulnerable victim after they left the premises and he took her to a nearby residential property. 

The incident happened in 2017 and was reported to Kent Police in March 2023, when Moore was arrested.

Intoxicated and confused

An investigation established that prior to the rape, the woman had previously engaged in small talk with Moore who was acquainted with someone she knew.

During an evening between November and December 2017, the victim encountered him at the (former) Rising Sun pub in Mill Street.

They consumed several drinks and she became intoxicated and confused. The victim recalled that after accompanying Moore to a different property she blacked out and woke up to find him raping her.

Moore, now 67, of Stickens Lane, East Malling was charged with rape and pleaded not guilty. A trial was held at Maidstone Crown Court and a jury convicted him by unanimous verdict.

On 7 November 2025, Moore was sentenced to nine years' imprisonment.

Never too late to report abuse

Detective Sergeant Mike Williams said:

‘Steven Moore deliberately targeted a vulnerable woman, exploiting her trust and intoxicated state to subject her to a truly horrific ordeal.

'His actions were clearly calculated and the impact on the victim has been profound. She has found it difficult to come forward but her tremendous courage has now thankfully ensured Moore has faced justice.

‘We know how difficult it can be for victims of sexual abuse to report such abhorrent and damaging offences, especially when so much time has passed. I hope this case demonstrates that no matter when offences have happened you will always be listened to, believed and supported.’

Description

The victim of a violent and sexual assault has seen her attacker jailed for 12 years.

Danny Bailey forced his way into the victim’s property in Rochester during the early hours of 28 June 2024. The woman had opened the door believing it was a neighbour, but Bailey pushed her back inside and made threats to kill her.

He then raped the victim and physically assaulted her, leaving her with cuts to her lip and scratches on her neck.

The victim managed to escape and lock herself in an upstairs bedroom, where her screams were heard by a neighbour who called police.

Arrest

Bailey had fled the scene before officers arrived but was arrested shortly afterwards at his home in Brompton Lane, Strood. He claimed he had been there all night watching television.

The 42 year old was found guilty of rape, intentional strangulation, threats to kill, and actual bodily harm, following a trial.

At Maidstone Crown Court on Thursday 23 October 2025, Bailey was sentenced to 12 years in prison with an extended licence period of two years.

Detective Constable Devon McKee, who led the investigation, said:

‘This was a terrifying ordeal for the victim, who showed immense courage both during the attack and throughout the investigation.

‘Bailey’s actions were calculated and violent, and the sentence handed down reflects the seriousness of his crimes. We hope this outcome provides some measure of justice and reassurance to the victim as she continues to recover.’

A Winsford man who incited a young child to engage in sexual activity has been jailed.

Antony Hill appeared at Chester Crown Court on Friday 7 November where he was sentenced to nine years in prison.

The 27-year-old had earlier been found guilty of two counts of causing a child to engage in sexual activity.

Hill, of Bollin Avenue, Winsford, has also been ordered to sign the sex offenders register for life and handed a restraining order to preventing him from contacting the victim.

In July 2024 the victim, a young child, disclosed to their parents that they had been sexually assaulted by Hill.

The child described how over a number of months Hill had made them engage in sexual activity and touch him inappropriately, telling the victim that it was their little secret.

Following the reports an investigation was launched by detectives from Northwich Protecting Vulnerable People (PVP).

Hill was arrested in relation to the incident and when questioned he declined to answer any questions put to him by officers.

Despite his silence, he was charged in relation to the allegations and found guilty of all the charges following a three-day trial at Chester Crown Court.

Following the sentencing, Detective Constable Emily Mackay, of the Northwich PVP Unit, said:

“Firstly, I would like to commend the victim in this case for the bravery and courage that they have shown throughout this investigation.

“Nobody should have to experience what they have been though, and I hope that the sentence handed to Hill will provide them and their family with some closure and allow them to move forward with their lives.

“I also hope it encourages anyone who has been a victim of sexual offences to please contact us. We will investigate all reports thoroughly with the needs and wishes of the victim as our main priority.”

A specialist child protection detective has joined a Judge in praising a young child for their bravery in speaking out about abuse they’d suffered, and for preventing the perpetrator from carrying out further harm to the victim or to other children.

Detective Sergeant Allan from our POLIT (Paedophile Online Investigation Team) spoke as 24-year-old Kane Povey received a 12-year sentence after pleading guilty to six offences half-way through his trial.  

Povey will serve 11 years in prison and one on licence.

An investigation into Povey began in October 2022 after police received a report of sexual assault and rape of a seven-year-old child. 

Cleveland Police immediately put safeguarding measures in place for the child and offered the victim and family further specialist support from local professional partner organisations.

Povey was arrested and interviewed but he denied the allegations however on receiving extensive evidence from police, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) authorised six charges against him.

These comprised three counts of rape of a child under 13 and three counts of causing or incident a child under 13 to engage in sexual activity.

Povey continued to deny any wrongdoing and a trial began in September this year.  Mid-trial though, he changed his plea and admitted the six charges.

He was remanded in prison until his appearance at Teesside Crown Court for sentencing today.

As well as imprisonment, Povey will be placed on the sex offenders’ register, will be subject to a SHPO (sexual harm prevention order) for life and on his eventual release, he’ll be subject to strict conditions and monitoring by specialist police officers.

Detective Sergeant Allan said:

"Firstly I’d like to acknowledge the bravery of this young child for coming forward and having their voice heard and believed.  In doing so it allowed police to take immediate action to safeguard them and protect other children from Povey.

“Povey is a dangerous and predatory man who has caused this child untold struggles in their day-to-day life, but the child and their family have shown incredible bravery throughout the police and court process.

“I hope today’s result will bring a degree of comfort to them all and I wish them all the best in going forward.”

A 35-year-old man convicted of rape, harassment and non-fatal strangulation has been jailed for 12 years.

James Chater, formerly of the Sleaford area, was sentenced for the charges when he appeared at Lincoln Crown Court on Friday, 7 November.

Chater pleaded guilty to two of the charges at an earlier trial – though he denied rape before he was eventually found guilty.

The crimes took place in the Sleaford area.

Chater was given a 12-year sentence, added to the sex offender’s register and given a sexual harm prevention order when he appeared in court. He has been jailed immediately.

Trainee Detective Constable Kieron Stewart, who led the investigation, paid tribute to the bravery of the victim and said this behaviour will not be tolerated in Lincolnshire.

“Chater’s actions were reprehensible and showed a lack of empathy and thought for his victim,” he said.

“This behaviour is unacceptable, and he has rightly been jailed today for the crimes he committed.

“Without the bravery of those who came forward to help us in our investigation, he could still be on the streets, so I’d like to pay tribute to their courage.

“This sends a message to any would-be offender – we will pursue you and pursue all lines of enquiry available to us.

“This is about delivering justice and deterring offenders - we will find you.

“And we will do everything in our power to support victims who come forward.”

Shazad Mughal (13/11/1977) of Tansley Road, Crumpsall was sentenced to seven-and-a-half years in prison on Friday 7 November 2025 after being found guilty of one count of rape and one count of sexual assault by penetration.

On Wednesday 10 August 2022, officers received a 999 call from the victim at 12:45am who said she had been sexually assaulted.

The victim asked Mughal, who was working as a security guard, for directions to Manchester city centre after their tram had terminated earlier than expected.

Mughal allowed the victim to use the toilet before sexually assaulting her in his security booth.

The victim managed to flee the scene and call the police, remaining hidden until an officer could locate them.

Detective Constable Luke Miller, of our Serious Crime Division, said:

“I would like to thank the victim for reporting this terrible incident to the police and allowing us to conduct a thorough investigation.

“Mughal abused his position of authority to sexually assault a woman who had asked him for help. Mughal claimed that the victim was advancing onto them whilst in the security booth and that he did not want to have any sexual activity with the victim, which was completely untrue.

“I commend the victim in this case for supporting our investigation, which has resulted in today’s sentence and sees justice served against Mughal, who will now spend a significant amount of time behind bars.

“Our officers will provide support, conduct thorough investigations, and take firm action against offenders. Your allegations will be taken seriously, and you will be treated with dignity and respect."

Description

Phillip Wallbank began abusing the girl when she was just 8 years old and continued for several years, until she bravely confided in staff at her school and the matter was reported to police.

During a police interview Wallbank, of Quebec Avenue, Blackpool, provided a lengthy prepared statement denying all allegations and claiming the victim was ‘unreliable and vindictive’.

The 37-year-old was then questioned – but declined to comment – about sexual abuse material which had been downloaded from his phone after being seized by officers.

The material amounted to over a thousand images and 1 video of category c, 15 images and 1 video of category b, and 4 images of category A.

Wallbank was subsequently charged with a catalogue of sexual offences which he continued to deny until a plea hearing in August, where he eventually admitted all 12 charges against him:

• Engage in sexual activity in presence of child under 13
• x4 Assault a girl under 13 by touching
• x2 Rape a girl under 13
• x2 Assault a girl under 13 by penetration
• x3 Make indecent images of a child

In a victim impact statement, which was read out in court, the girl explained that Wallbank’s abuse had caused ruptures within her family, as some of them did not believe her when she told them of the abuse:

“I’m left feeling very angry and alone because they wouldn’t believe me and thought I was lying.”

The statement goes on to tell of the lasting damage that Wallbank has inflicted:

“Because of what he did, I have nightmares almost every night.

“I wake up shaking and frightened. Flashbacks can happen at any time. They make me feel sick and like it’s happening all over again.

“Sometimes I cut the skin on my arms to stop the bad thoughts in my head.

“I feel different from other kids, I feel worthless, like I am not good enough.

“He stole my childhood, and the hurt he caused me is still with me every single day”

A judge handed Wallbank a 25-and-half-year prison term during a sentencing hearing at Derby Crown Court on 27 October.

The term comprises 19-and-a-half years imprisonment plus a six-year extended licence period due to danger and risk he poses to the public.

The judge also placed Wallbank on the sex offenders register for life.

Detective Constable Trev Allt, officer in the case, said:

“The courage shown by the victim in this case is deeply admirable.

“Despite the devastating impact Wallbank’s abuse has had on her life, she was able to trust and confide in staff at school and later police – which has allowed us to investigate and see this case through to conviction.

“The sentence handed by the judge reflects the severity of Wallbank’s crimes and the danger he poses to the public.

“Nothing can take away what Wallbank did to the victim, but it is my hope that she can now begin to move forward and rebuild her life knowing that he is behind bars and has been held publicly accountable for his crimes.”

A rapist who sexually abused three young girls during the 1990s and early 2000s has been convicted of historic sex crimes.

Peter King lured in and groomed the three children, who were between 6 and 15yrs at the time, by taking them on swimming trips, buying them clothing and food and then taking them back to his flat in Highgate, Birmingham.

King, now aged 72, worked as a taxi driver at the time and used his black cab to ferry around the girls and sometimes their friends too.

One girl he abused, who was 15 at the time, became pregnant by King before having a termination.

She bravely revealed this information years later to help our Public Protection Unit (PPU) prosecute him for his appalling actions.

Following the trial, which concluded at Birmingham Crown Court last Friday (31 October), King, of Malin Close, Southampton, was convicted of 15 sex offences, including multiple incidents if rape and indecent assault.

He was remanded into custody ahead of sentencing on 12 January.

Detective Investigating Officer Liz Weston, from the PPU, said:

“This has been a long and complex investigation into the abuse of young girls who were groomed by King.

"He preyed upon them when they were at their most vulnerable.

"He took advantage of their own personal circumstances and gave them pocket money, bought them gifts, clothing and food and took them on day trips and holidays.

"He tried to portray that he was a good man who cared for them, but the jury saw through those lies.

"I’m pleased that the women he abused as children all those years ago have finally received the justice they so deserve.

"I commend their bravery in being able to speak out and share their stories and

"I would ask anyone who has encountered similar experiences, or any kind of abuse, historically or recently, to speak to the police.

"We are here to create a safe space for you and we will listen.”

A pervert was caught by paedophile hunters sending sexually explicit messages to decoys posing as children, a court heard.

Michael Parr, 41, encouraged the 'girls'—actually adults—to perform sex acts on themselves and sent a naked photo of himself.

Over nearly two months, he messaged decoys pretending to be 12 and 14-year-old girls.

Prosecutor Dan Wilberforce said the group handed messages to police after Parr's arrest. He noted Parr sent a 'how to guide' for sexual behavior and photos, plus a genital image to one decoy.

Parr, of Middleham Close, Ouston, Chester-le-Street, pleaded guilty to two counts of attempting sexual communication with a child and one of attempting to incite a child in sexual activity between September and October last year.

Defense lawyer Caroline McGurk said her client accepts punishment, but "his life has been blown apart and will never be the same again" after a violent attack injury led him to social media. She added: "When I read the messages to him, his embarrassment and shame were palpable." His offending cost his marriage, home, and job.

Judge Jonathan Carroll jailed Parr for 32 months for his "persistent and protracted" attempts.

He said:

"You had suffered an injury, you were at home suffering from a temporary disability, you were bored and you got involved in chat forums.

"You then ended up in communication with the first apparent child and the communication made it clear that she purported to be a 14-year-old. She was not a child; she was an adult putting herself online to catch people like you.

"You didn’t know you were dealing with an adult, you thought you were dealing with a child and the communication became sexual over an extended period of time."

Parr must sign the sex offenders’ register for life.

Two people have been sentenced for modern slavery offences after women were trafficked from Romania to the UK to work as sex workers in West Yorkshire.

Costel Tambac and Mariana Iova were jailed today after being found guilty by a jury following a trial in July.

The pair, both Romanian nationals, were found to be responsible for controlling the lives of two female victims who were trafficked to the UK from Romania.

Both victims were told they were coming to the UK to work as agency workers in a meat factory.

But in reality, they were “sold” to Tambac and Iova who made them work as sex workers at brothels in the Harehills and Holbeck areas of Leeds, as well as in Dewsbury, Oldham and Nottingham.

The pair seized the money earnt by the victims, leaving them with as little as £10 a day to themselves.

Officers from West Yorkshire Police’s Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking team began the investigation in 2016 when one of the victims came forward.

She reported to police that she had been trafficked to the UK where she was ‘sold’ to Tambac and Iova. From then on, she was forced to work for them and sexually exploited.

The pair advertised their victims’ services on adult services websites, taking them to agreed locations to provide sexual services when requested.

They controlled their victims by retaining their ID documents and money as well as controlling their lifestyle. They enforced this control by using violence and threats.

Tambac and Iova were each found guilty of two counts of sexual exploitation of a female victim contrary to the Modern Slavery Act 2015, and two counts of controlling prostitution for gain contrary to Section 53 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003.

Appearing before Leeds Crown Court for sentencing today, Tambac, aged 50, formerly of Moorhey Street, Oldham, Greater Manchester was sentenced to nine years.

Iova, aged 35, also formerly of Moorhey Street, Oldham, was sentenced to eight years.

In 2018, Tambac and Iova fled the UK while they were still under investigation. Officers sought international arrest warrants, and the pair were traced to Amsterdam where they were arrested earlier this year and extradited back to the UK.

Speaking outside the court, Senior Investigating Officer Detective Superintendent Helen Steele, said:

“First and foremost, my thoughts go out to the victims who suffered an horrendous ordeal.

“They were brought over to the UK under false pretences by organised criminals where they were sold as a commodity to be financially and sexually exploited through controlled prostitution.

“I hope the guilty verdicts together with the sentences handed down today will bring them some comfort as they continue with the process of rebuilding their lives.”

“I would also like to thank them for their bravery, their patience and their resilience as we pursued our investigation.

“Our investigation was complex and began nine years ago when one of the victims came forward.

“It was the first ever investigation for West Yorkshire Police to conduct as a Joint Investigation Team with the Romanian authorities, who I would also like to thank as it meant we could maximise all investigational opportunities.

“The Joint Investigation Team also led to the Romanian authorities convicting the people responsible for trafficking the victims to the UK.

“A successful prosecution would not have been possible without the assistance of colleagues in Romania.”

Charles Liburd (27/07/1961) of Quarry Road, Maidstone, Kent, has been sentenced today at Manchester Square Crown Court after being found guilty of 11 counts, including indecent assault and sexual intercourse with a girl under 13 years.

He was sentenced to 20 years imprisonment, with an additional two years on licence. This sentencing comes after two brave women reported the offences that occurred from 1986 – 1994. 

In May 2021, the first victim came forward to report a series of incidents where Liburd sexually assaulted her in her home from the age of 7 – 9-years-old. The victim disclosed the countless times Liburd touched her and forced himself on her. She opened up about the impact this has had on her and her mental-health long term, which is why she decided to come forward and report the offences.

In September 2023 during the investigation into Liburd, officers from our Longsight District Investigation Team were able to identify a second victim. She courageously stepped forward and reported against the same perpetrator, who raped and continuously assaulted her from the ages of 7 – 11-years old.

The victim described multiple instances where she had been sexually assaulted by him despite her pushing him away, and she recalls a time when she was raped in her sleep in her own bedroom and woke up to him on top of her.

The bravery of both victims sharing their stories led to Liburd being issued with a Sexual Harm Prevention Order prior to his trial, safeguarding both victims and multiple other girls across Greater Manchester. Liburd showed no remorse during his trial, and when questioned, accused both girls of lying, which officers and the jury did not accept and ensured they secured his sentence at trial.

In her victim impact statement, one of the women shared with the court the damaging and lasting impact this has had on her and her family’s mental health over the years and why she has chosen to come forward to get the justice she deserves:

“The trauma has followed me into adulthood, causing me mental health and shaping who I am and how I see the world today. The scars and trauma will never completely go away.

“I find it difficult to build close relationships and even when people show me kindness, I question their intentions.

“I have felt weak for not speaking out sooner, with that comes feelings of guilt for not protecting other potential victims. What I have come to understand is I was a child, the silence was not weakness, it was survival.

“The guilt I have carried for nearly my whole life it was never mine to hold. It belonged to my abuser Charles Liburd, who has shown no remorse or accountability for his actions nor the mental torture he inflicted on me and my family.”

Detective Sergeant Kerry Batchelor from GMP’s District Investigation Team in South Manchester said:

“Regardless of when reports are made, our officers are committed to solving these crimes and ensuring the public feel they have a safe space to report any incident.

“Both girls were able to come forward when they were ready and disclose the abuse they suffered, and our officers will work tirelessly to ensure all victims get justice, no matter when the offences take place.

“It is our hope that both women will be able to finally feel safer after this sentencing and begin to move forward for themselves and their families.

“Protecting our children is a key priority at GMP and we hope that this encourages anyone who has been abused or assaulted to always come forward and report.”

A man has been jailed for committing a sex act in front of a child in a restaurant toilet.

Registered sex offender Christopher Taylor (pictured) was only allowed to use a public toilet if he was in a cubicle designed for individual use – a condition of a sexual harm prevention order.

But in June this year, Taylor, 46, stood next to the urinals at McDonalds in Rawtenstall and carried out a sex act in full view of a young boy who was washing his hands after using the toilet.

The boy, aged 11, was left upset and told his mum that ‘something’s happened in the bathroom that’s really weird’.

An investigation was launched and CCTV footage of Taylor’s car helped trace him to Manchester where he was arrested a few days later.

Taylor, formerly of Tenterden Walk, Wythenshaw, Manchester, appeared at Preston Crown Court for sentencing today (7th November).

He had pleaded guilty at a previous hearing to engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child under the age of 13, and to breach of a sexual harm prevention order.

Taylor was given an extended sentence of eight years in prison.

Det Con Adam Rainsbury of Burnley CID, said:

“This was disgusting behaviour by Taylor in front of a young boy who was using the toilets in McDonalds.

“Taylor is registered sex offender who had conditions place on him as part of a sexual harm prevention order.

“I welcome the prison sentence imposed on him and it shows that such behaviour will not be tolerated.”
