Sex offender jailed for having phone in breach of order
A SEX offender failed to register a new mobile phone as he was required to do by a sexual harm prevention order.
Blackburn magistrates heard Jake Ethan McMahon-Bates had also deleted internet history from the phone and used private browsing mode.
McMahon-Bates, 19, of Orange Street, Accrington, pleaded guilty to three breaches of a sexual harm prevention order. He was jailed for 20 weeks for the offences and a further 26 weeks for being in breach of a suspended sentence order.
Paul Sumner, prosecuting, said the sexual harm prevention order had been made in November.
