Newcastle sex offender failed to tell police of new address to save his reputation

A pervert failed to tell police of his new address in a bid to save his reputation in the local community.

Jatinder Pal Singh was ordered to sign the Sex Offenders' Register for five years in 2018 after pleading guilty to two sexual assaults in Gateshead. As a result, the 38-year-old was required to inform police within three days if he moved home.

However, in October last year, Singh changed his address from Bolam House, near St James' Park, in Newcastle, to one on Buckingham Street, in Arthur's Hill, and failed to tell officers. It was only discovered four-months-later when a constable did a face-to-face check.
