Adem Kilincarslan 45

Description

Convicted rapist Adem Kilincarslan breached the Sex Offenders' Register by staying in the same household as a girl - without notifying police. The 44-year-old is on the Sex Offenders' Register for the rest of his life after being convicted of rape in 2010.

He was living at an address with a woman and two children which the police knew about. But he did not inform them when a girl twice stayed at the address.

Now Kilincarslan has been handed a 12-month community order at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court.

Prosecutor Martyn Walsh said: "A female had been staying at the address with the defendant's partner and her two other children. The police were aware of the two other children. But he had not declared on at least two occasions that the girl had stayed at the premises. That put him in breach of the requirements."

Kilincarslan, of Beverley Drive, Bentilee, pleaded guilty to failing to comply with the notification requirements of the Sex Offenders' Register.

Stuart Muldoon, mitigating, said: "She arrived unexpectedly and his partner allowed him to stay. That decision was nothing to do with him."

Kilincarslan has previous for breaking court rules after failing to complete his registration as a sex offender.

But Mr Muldoon added: "Since November 2021 he has registered twice annually as he should and has fully complied with all aspects of the order. He has taken the order seriously as far as contact with young adults and children is concerned."

The community order includes a 20-day rehabilitation activity requirement and 40-hours unpaid work.

Judge Graeme Smith told him: "You know full well that you need to comply with these notification requirements and it is troubling that this is now the fourth occasion you have breached them."
