Man who can't have sex without giving police notice claims his life is ruined
The unidentified man, who is a parent in his forties, was given a sexual risk order in January.
A man who has been ordered by the court to give a 24-hour-notice to the police before he has sex has complained that the restrictions are making him feel that he’s living in a ‘virtual prison’. The unidentified man, who is reportedly a parent in his forties, was given a sexual risk order in January that requires him to restrict his sex life and internet use and even submit to the police details of his electronic devices.
The man, who has no previous criminal history, says that the order was granted by a judge post a retrial after he was cleared of rape charges. He even revealed to the media that the jury took just six minutes to acquit him. When he was accused of biting and scratching the alleged victim, he claimed that the scratching was only part of a massage. He also stresses that his admission about his interest in S&M was used against him at trial, according to BuzzFeed.
“It puts an end to your life. I had more freedom in prison. The severity of the restrictions exceed what convicted criminals would get on a sexual offence prevention order,” he told the Yorkshire Post reporters outside York magistrate’s court.
He says that as long as the order was in place, his chances of getting involved in a romantic relationship would remain slim. “Can you imagine, 24 hours before sex? Come on. There’s a nice French restaurant I’d like to take you to, but first the police are just going to come around for a little chat,” he adds. Sources say that such an order can last for a minimum of two years but in case of a breach, it could land him a jail sentence of up to five years.
