CRAIG THORPE FROM CLEVELAND AND LIVERTON JAILED FOR THIRD TIME BREACHING SEX OFFENCES ORDER

Craig Thorpe, a 25-year-old registered sex offender with ties to Cleveland and Liverton, has been sentenced to 20 months in prison after repeatedly violating a sexual offences prevention order. The court found that Thorpe was caught in the same residence as a young child, despite having a court-imposed restriction that explicitly prohibited him from having unsupervised contact with minors.

Thorpe's history of non-compliance with the court order is well-documented. He had previously failed to adhere to the restrictions, which were put in place to protect children from potential harm. His latest breach occurred in August, when he was found in violation of the terms of his order once again.

The court emphasized the ongoing danger Thorpe poses to children, highlighting the seriousness of his repeated breaches. Despite previous warnings and legal restrictions, Thorpe continued to disregard the court's directives, prompting the judge to impose a substantial custodial sentence. The decision underscores the judiciary's stance on protecting minors and the importance of strict enforcement of such orders to prevent further harm.
