Man Jailed After Partner Learns of Sex-Offender Past at Turkey Border
Discovery at Turkish border led to prosecution that underlines the courts' role in enforcing Sexual Harm Prevention Orders to protect children.
Overview
- Daniel Greaves was sentenced to 10 months in prison at Grimsby Crown Court on Monday after he admitted two breaches of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order.
- The breaches took place in January and February when Greaves had unsupervised contact with children during a pub lunch and a visit to a circus.
- Border control difficulties in Turkey revealed Greaves's 2024 conviction to his new partner, who then reported him to police and prompted the case.
- Greaves's original conviction concerned sexual communications with decoys run by paedophile hunters who posed as 13- and 14-year-old girls and received messages asking for photos and meetings.
- Judge Richard Woolfall said SHPO conditions are non-negotiable and stressed they exist to protect children, while court records show probation had advised Greaves to tell his partner about the conviction.
