Father-of-three jailed for prohibited internet access

Undeclared internet access cost a father-of-three from Brislington a jail term. Marcus Stroud failed to declare internet-enabled phones to police under the terms of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order, Bristol Crown Court heard.

The 29-year-old, of Broomhill Road, pleaded guilty to two breaches of a SHPO and a further charge of failing to notify his whereabouts to police. Judge James Patrick sent him to prison for 28 months. He told Stroud: "Until you've learned to do what you are told to do you will spend longer and longer in custody. The more you keep offending, the longer you will spend in custody."
