Overview
- A Cheltenham magistrates' court has imposed a five‑year Sexual Harm Prevention Order on Victor Valentine although he has not been convicted of a sexual offence.
- Police told the court that Valentine describes himself as a misogynist, belongs to an online incel group, has a history of unprovoked violence toward women, and has repeatedly breached civil orders.
- The order bars him from registering or using specified incel websites and from entering or loitering near female toilets, changing rooms and women‑only spaces.
- It requires him to tell police about any internet‑capable device, register devices with the VISOR team within three days, keep browsing and location history intact, and allow police inspections on request.
- The order runs for five years to 25 August 2031 and police say breaches can lead to arrest and up to five years in prison, reflecting the force's use of SHPOs as a preventative tool before conviction.
