York: In a bizarre incident, a North Yorkshire man has been banned from engaging in any form of sexual activity unless he gives a day’s prior notice to the Yokshire police in UK, according to a report in The York Press.
The man has not yet been convicted for any sex crime, but the police have sought a ‘sexual risk order’ for the man. Sexual risk order is often sought for a person who is thought to be unsafe for the public, say reports.
The unidentified man has to inform the police whenever he decides to have a sexual relationship or a one-night stand with any woman.
An individual can be issued a sexual risk order by a court, under which the person becomes liable to inform the police about any sexual activity that he or she wishes to engage in. A person who has been issued a sexual risk order may not necessarily be a sexual offender. It says, “the individual does not need to have committed a relevant (or any offence)" for the order to be imposed.
A sexual risk order can last for a minimum of two years, and on breaching, it can land a person into prison for a term of up to five years.
Sarah Green, the acting director at End Violence Against Women, said that such orders were essential to keep potential victims safe.
