Trowbridge man sentenced for breaking Sexual Harm Prevention Order

A Trowbridge man has been sentenced for breaking the conditions of his Sexual Harm Prevention Order.

Anthony Munk, 36, of Trowbridge town centre was sentenced at Swindon Crown Court on November 6 to two months in prison, along with six months in prison to run concurrently, suspended for 18 months. 

He was also sentenced to carry out 50 rehabilitation activity days and 300 hours unpaid work.

Detective Constable Chris McLoughlin, from MOSOVO said: "SHPOs are put in place by the court, to protect the public from sexual harm.

"Their conditions assist in managing sex offenders, and may restrict things such as;

• Erasing of search history
• Procurement/destruction of devices
• Contact with certain demographics
• Type or number of devices owned

"We will continue to manage these orders robustly and undertake more work that goes unreported.

"Munk received this order following a conviction for making indecent images of children, and the breaching of the order demonstrates a flagrant disregard for the law.”
