Tony Meisels has succeeded in discharging a SOPO made against a client in July 2005.

The sentence imposed by the Magistrates’ Court for the original substantive offence had been a community order and, as such, the client would have ceased to be on the Sex Offenders Register after five years. In this case, however, our client had remained subject to the provisions of the Register for a further two years as the SOPO was to run until further order. This month those provisions have since become even more onerous than before.

If you have a query about appealing your SOPO, please contact Tony Meisels.
