Description
POLICE have released the mugshot of the Winsford man jailed after approaching underage children.
Last week, Neil Owen was jailed for 89 weeks after pleading guilty to breaching an 18-year-old court order.
The sexual offences prevention order, which was handed down by Vale Royal Magistrates Court on January 28, 2005, banned the 53-year-old from communicating with children.
But on August 24 earlier this year, Owen, of Abbotts Way, breached the order by twice approaching and communicating with a 15-year-old child.
Judge Patrick Thompson sentenced him to 18 months.
He will also serve a further 11 weeks as a result of a suspended sentence handed to him last month.
At Crewe Magistrates' Court on August 10 Owen pleaded guilty to three offences following an incident at the Red Lion pub in Wharton in July.
He was charged with assault by beating, using threatening or abusive words and breaching a community protection order.
Owen was seen acting aggressively and swearing before he assaulted another man, in turn breaching a community protection order imposed on him in January.
This order had been issued after Owen acted towards ambulance staff at Winsford Lifestyle Centre.
Taking his guilty plea into account, magistrates sentenced him to 11 weeks in jail, but suspended the term for 12 months due to his ongoing rehabilitation work with the Probation Service.
However, by committing this latest offence, Owen will have to serve the sentence.
