DARWYN SCANDRETT SENT BACK TO PRISON IN PETERBOROUGH FOR SEX OFFENCE BREACH
In April 2018, a serious case unfolded involving Darwyn Scandrett, a known sex offender who was residing in Peterborough.The situation escalated when authorities successfully tracked him down and subsequently re-incarcerated him after he violated the conditions of his previous release from prison.
Scandrett, aged 22 at the time, had been released from incarceration in March 2017.
However, he failed to adhere to the strict requirements set by the Probation Service, notably neglecting to inform authorities of his current residence and skipping scheduled appointments.
This pattern of non-compliance raised alarms among law enforcement officials, who were actively monitoring his case.
In an apparent attempt to avoid arrest and detection, Scandrett provided police with false information, specifically the contact details of his brother, during stops in both Norwich and Peterborough.
Despite these efforts to conceal his whereabouts, police persisted in their investigation.
On August 1, 2017, law enforcement officers located Scandrett at a property in Greenham, a district within Peterborough.
During this visit, they discovered that a child was also living at the residence.
Although there was no evidence to suggest that Scandrett had been left unsupervised with the child, the fact that he had not reported his presence at the property constituted a breach of his release conditions.
This oversight was considered a serious violation of the terms of his supervision.
Following his arrest, Darwyn Scandrett, who was classified as having no fixed abode, pleaded guilty to three counts of failing to comply with the Sexual Offences Act.
His actions demonstrated a blatant disregard for the legal obligations imposed upon him as a registered sex offender.
On Friday, April 20, at Peterborough Crown Court, the court sentenced him to a prison term of one year and three months.
The sentence reflects the gravity of his breaches and the ongoing concern for public safety regarding individuals with a history of sexual offenses.
