Sex offender in jail after ‘blatantly and deliberately’ ignoring requirements placed on him

A man has been jailed for breaching the terms set up on him when he was deemed to be a sex offender.

Alister Dyson, 39, of no fixed abode but previously of Preston and Morecambe, was told he had to follow Sex Offender Notification Requirements and a Sexual Harm Prevention Order.

Dyson breached two of these requirements in failing to notify police of his address and having unsupervised contact with a child.

He was jailed for 22 months when appearing at Preston Crown Court yesterday (30 October).

Police Offender Manager Adam Weaver, of West Division said: “Dyson blatantly and deliberately ignored the requirements set to protect the community, and I welcome the custodial sentence received. We monitor registered sex offenders in the community and won’t hesitate to put them back before the court should they fail to comply with the lawful orders imposed upon them.

“If you have been a victim of any sexual offence, please know that we will listen to you, we will investigate, and we will do all we can to bring the person responsible before the courts.

“If you do have anything to report to us, you can contact us on 101. In an emergency, call 999.”
