Description
A sex offender has been fined after he admitted failing to tell police where he was living.
Edwin Eddie Toop, 52, is required to visit his nearest police station at least once a year to tell police of his whereabouts, Aldershot magistrates heard on Thursday, September 9.
But this year Toop failed to inform police where he was living in Farnborough putting him in breach of the terms of his notification requirements on the sex offenders register.
Toop was jailed for five years in 2006 after he was convicted of two counts of causing a child under the age of 13 to engage in sexual activity, after a trial at Reading Crown Court.
He had forced his victim to perform sex acts on him on at least two occasions.
Toop had worked as a bus driver in Reading and was on sick leave when the offences happened after he was attacked when a gang threw acid into his eyes.
However his employer, Reading Buses, was criticised for allowing him to continue driving buses for a year after the allegations were made against him.
David Renwick, prosecuting, told magistrates Toop had last told police where he was living, his current address in Curly Bridge Close, Farnborough, on August 17, last year.
