The sex offender had previous convictions for offences involving children
A registered sex offender, who has had previous convictions for offences involving children, has breached a strict court order. Police visited Vincent Flemons, 53, after the team in charge of managing sex offenders discovered he was breaching orders in place around him.
Flemons was given a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) in July 2025 which stated he must not install, download, or use any instant messaging service which does not save internet history without obtaining prior written consent.
Officers received a notification in February that he had downloaded a social media app which does not record chat history, and without receiving prior consent. The SHPO further stated that any device Flemons used must retain all internet history, and that he must notify police of any change of home address within three days.
A search of Flemons’ device revealed that he had also deleted several apps, including Instagram and Twitter, from his phone. He had also been staying at a property in Waterbeach without alerting police, both further breaching the conditions of his SHPO.
On Thursday, May 7, Flemons, of no known address, was jailed for one year for two counts of breaching a SHPO and one count of failing to comply with Sex Offenders Register notifications. He admitted the offences at Huntingdon Law Courts.
DC Sonia Kauser, who investigated, said: “Flemons was well aware of the conditions of his SHPO, but decided to breach them anyway. I’m pleased that he has now faced justice, and I hope this case shows how committed we are to managing sexual offenders and ensuring they comply with court orders.”
