Record details
A 47-year-old man from Winsford has been jailed after breaching his Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) by possessing nappies.
Gary McVeigh, of Delamere Street, was sentenced to two years and four months in prison at Chester Crown Court today, Friday 5 July.
McVeigh was previously convicted of possessing and making indecent images of children in August 2016 and sentenced to two years imprisonment.
He was also made subject to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order with a number of conditions, one of which prohibited McVeigh from possessing any nappies.
On 21 May 2024, officers attended McVeigh’s address as part of the routine checks made to monitor registered sex offenders.
During the visit, McVeigh was arrested for breaching his SHPO after officers became aware of three unregistered devices that McVeigh had hidden.
Following an inspection of his bedroom, officers then found a large quantity of soiled nappies, as well as a quantity of unused nappies. He was again arrested on suspicion of breaching his SHPO.
McVeigh was charged with three sexual harm breaches. He later pleaded guilty to the offences.
