MARCUS HICKS OF RUGBY JAILED FOR ONE YEAR AFTER SHPO BREACH IN RUGBY
A man from Rugby has been sentenced to one year in custody after violating his Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO).Marcus Hicks, 23, of Balcombe Road, Rugby, was sentenced last week at Warwick Crown Court.
Hicks is a registered sex offender due to previous convictions for making indecent images of children and possessing extreme pornographic images involving animals.
He was also subject to the SHPO.
Hicks was found to have breached the order by engaging in communication online to obtain indecent photographs of children and by failing to inform the police about a bank card he possessed.
When officers from the Warwickshire Police Offender Management Unit conducted an unannounced visit to Hicks's residence in February 2023, they discovered bank cards he had not declared to authorities.
