Man asked to report to the police 24 hours before sex

Man cleared of rape charges asked to notify police before having sex

The man who claims he had more freedom when he was in prison, admitted he used to be interested in Sado-Masochistic sex, popularly referred to as S&M. 


The man had also been accused of biting and scratching his partner who reported him to the police, a development which he said occurred during an ‘after-sex massage’ 

The single father of one was arrested by North Yorkshire police and arraigned for hearing at the York Magistrate’s court, where he denied ever being convicted of any crime including ‘parking tickets’. 

The Yorkshire police force applied for a Sexual Risk Order (SRO) for him when he was declared discharged and acquitted of rape. 


According to the terms of the temporary SRO, he is required to inform the police of his intentions to have sex with a new partner, at least 24 hours before the act. He’s also not allowed to any internet-enabled device that cannot be later accessed by the police. 

The man didn’t find this requirement funny and had this to say: 

”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. There’s no prospect of a relationship at the moment because of the rules I’ve been forced to live by. They contravene my human rights. Can you imagine, 24 hours before sex? Come on! 

I’m in a state of shock, I cannot believe this is how the justice system works. I thought the police were interested in finding out the truth, the only thing the police are interested in is securing convictions. It’s so unjust, there is not a conviction to my name – one allegation, acquitted and they can still shut you down. They can create this virtual prison.” 

He is set to face the judge on July 14, pending a full hearing on August 19.
