Joseph Patrick HallamA 66-year-old man from Sheffield has been jailed for seven years for breaching a Sexual Offences Prevention Order (SOPO) preventing him from contacting children.
Joseph Patrick Hallam, of Auckland Rise, Halfway, appeared before Sheffield Crown Court on Friday 10 June where he was jailed for seven years for breach of a Sexual Offences Prevention Order and arranging/facilitating the commission of a child sexual offence.
Detective Sergeant Karen Whitehouse, who works for the team that manages Registered Sex Offenders (RSOs) in South Yorkshire, said: “Hallam is subject to strict conditions under his SOPO and he has served custodial sentences in the past for sexually abusing children.
“He came to our attention again last year when we discovered he had been using internet chat rooms to attempt to engage with girls under 16-years-old.
“He has accepted responsibility for his crime and pleaded guilty, but the significant sentence handed to him for breaching his order demonstrates just how serious this crime is.”
