Registered sex offender handed jail sentence

A 23-year-old registered sex offender has been handed a two year and two month spell in prison after breaching his conditions.

Lewis Garraway, aged 23, previously of Pilton Close, Northampton, is subject to a number of requirements including having to notify police should he be in close proximity to any child.

However, Garraway ignored this rule and rented a room in his house in January 2021 to a father who often had his children, aged four and eight, around to stay. The father had no idea Garraway was a registered sex offender with conditions to abide by.

Police discovered this situation through one of the MOSOVO Team’s regular checks and Garraway was immediately charged with failing to comply with his notification requirements.

Following the charges, Garraway failed to attend his police bail appointments on a number of occasions and also failed to appear at court for his first hearing. He was eventually sentenced to two years and two months in prison for the offences.
