Default Heading H1
A 28-year-old convicted sex offender has been sentenced to two years in prison after breaching multiple terms of his Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) and failing to comply with the Sex Offenders Register.
Shaleem Nazish, formerly of Wellingborough, was convicted at Northampton Crown Court at the end of May after admitting five offences, including three SHPO breaches and two failures to comply with notification requirements.
Previous Conviction and SHPO Conditions
Nazish was originally placed on the Sex Offenders Register indefinitely and issued with a lifetime SHPO following a conviction for possessing indecent images of children at Cheshire Magistrates’ Court in July 2021.
The terms of the SHPO included:
- Not possessing internet-capable devices without police authorisation
- Ensuring devices retained and displayed browser history
- Providing devices to officers upon request
Breaches Discovered by MOSOVO Team
Between March 28 and April 3, officers from the Northamptonshire Police MOSOVO team (Management of Sexual or Violent Offenders) discovered that Nazish had flouted all three conditions of his order.
He was also found to have:
- Missed his annual Sex Offenders Register notification
- Failed to notify police of a new bank card, another requirement under the register
Nazish was arrested and charged on April 3, before pleading guilty at Northampton Magistrates’ Court the following day. He was remanded in custody pending sentencing.
Sentencing Outcome
At Northampton Crown Court in late May, Nazish was sentenced to two years in prison and ordered to pay a £187 victim surcharge upon release.
A spokesperson for Northamptonshire Police said:
“SHPOs and the Sex Offenders Register exist to protect the public. When those subject to them breach their conditions, we will take swift action. The custodial sentence handed down reflects the seriousness of Mr Nazish’s repeated non-compliance.”
