MAN APPEARS IN COURT OVER BREACH OF SEXUAL HARM PREVENTION ORDER
Philip Parkin attended Leeds Magistrates Court on September 11, 2025, for his first appearance.The case involves allegations of breaching a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) and an interim SHPO.
The charges relate to non-compliance with court-imposed restrictions aimed at protecting the public.
The court heard that Parkin potentially violated the terms set out in his SHPO, which are designed to prevent further offences and safeguard vulnerable individuals.
The case was listed under the reference 13WD0402625, and no plea was entered during this initial hearing.
The magistrates ordered the case to proceed, and Parkin was remanded in custody pending a future hearing.
The court will review the evidence before deciding on next steps.
The case underscores ongoing efforts to enforce court orders aimed at restricting individuals with a history of offending from re-offending or causing harm.
The next hearing is scheduled for a later date to determine whether there is enough evidence to commit the case to crown court for trial on the alleged breaches.
