Description
A Sidcup sex offender with over 200 previous convictions has been jailed for drunken comments to a woman outside Tesco.
Stephen Lumb, 66, began offending in 1976 and was placed on the sex offenders register for life in 2009 after a serious sexual assault.
He has since been in and out of prison repeatedly for offences including masturbating at a bus stop in 2021.
In 2022 he was given a sexual harm prevention order (SHPO) banning him from having any unsupervised contact with any woman or female child other than contact which is not reasonably avoidable in daily life.
But on Tuesday, July 1, when Lumb was drunk outside Tesco on Station Road, Sidcup, he approached and spoke to a woman.
At Bexley Magistrates' Court on Thursday, July 3, Lumb pleaded guilty to breaching the SHPO and being drunk and disorderly in public.
He was sentenced to eight months in prison.
