Tony Meisels has successfully applied to Westminster Magistrates’ Court to vary a Sexual Offences Prevention Order (SOPO), which was imposed in 2008.
The applicant can now own, possess, and use any internet-enabled device as long as the history is preserved and it is made available for inspection by the police upon request. Furthermore, the order is now time limited and will cease when the applicant is no longer subject to the requirements of the Sex Offenders Register. The amended order is now consistent with the guidance issued by the Court of Appeal in the case of R v Steven Smith and Others in July 2011.
If you are subject to a SOPO with stringent conditions you may be able to apply to vary the order. Please contact Tony Meisels.
