PRABHAT SAKYA'S SHOCKING BREACH IN SWINDON: SEX OFFENDER'S REIGN OF TERROR CONTINUES
A disturbing case involving a convicted sex offender from Swindon has taken a troubling turn as he was found guilty of violating the strict court-imposed restrictions designed to monitor his conduct.Dr.
Prabhat Sakya, a resident of Bude Road in Swindon, was previously convicted in 2021 of sexually assaulting two women aboard a train.
During the incident, he engaged in a predatory manner by sitting directly next to his victims and then proceeding to touch their bodies without consent, effectively trapping them in an uncomfortable and threatening situation.
Despite denying the charges at his trial, Sakya was convicted and sentenced to avoid immediate imprisonment.
Instead, he was subjected to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO), a legal measure intended to restrict his activities and prevent further offending.
The order was meant to serve as a safeguard for the community, ensuring that Sakya's movements and actions remained under strict scrutiny.
However, in 2023, concerns resurfaced when Wiltshire 999s, a local news outlet, uncovered an Instagram profile believed to be operated by Sakya.
The social media account contained numerous photographs of young women and girls, some accompanied by captions that raised alarm among viewers.
Many of these images were taken at the Swindon Designer Outlet, a popular shopping destination in the town.
The content on the profile appeared to be inappropriate and potentially indicative of further misconduct or grooming behavior.
Further investigations revealed that Sakya had violated the terms of his SHPO.
Officers discovered five iPhones, two computers, and a tablet during a search, all of which had not been disclosed to his sex offender manager as required by law.
This failure to report and the possession of these devices constituted a breach of the court order.
Additionally, Sakya was found to have disposed of a laptop in a manner that was not disclosed to police, leading to a ninth charge of breaching the SHPO.
At Swindon Magistrates’ Court, Sakya admitted to all the breaches.
The court sentenced him to a 12-month community order, which includes a requirement to complete 20 days of supervised activity with the probation service.
Furthermore, he was fined £200 for his violations.
This case underscores the ongoing challenges faced by authorities in monitoring convicted offenders and highlights the importance of strict enforcement of court orders to protect the community from potential harm.
