What details are required to be registered?
A person subject to registration requirements is required to register:
- Their name and any other names, be they alias names, new names as per Deed Poll, names used on social media, gamer tags or any other name they can be identified by.
- Their address. The address at which they reside. If a person is homeless, often referred to as No Fixed abode (NFA) then they should register the fact that they are of no fixed abode and also a place where they may be found.
- Any other address at which they stay for seven days a year or more. This can be on one occasion, for example a cottage or caravan at the seaside for a holiday or two weeks in alternative accommodation due to flooding at their address. In these cases, we would refer to it as a temporary address. Or it could be that the individual stops on occasional days for example staying at a partner’s or parent’s address at weekends. Legally the individual MUST register this address within three days of the seventh day of their stay. We would refer to this as an occasional address.
- Any household or private place the individual stays or resides at for 12 hours or more and where there is a child also resides or stays. The notification can be made in advance or it can be made within three days of the event taking place. NB this also includes the registered address as per point 2 above. So, if the individual, who normally does not reside with a child has any child at his address for 12 hours or more they must register that event within three days of it taking place
- Their passport, driving licence or immigration identity card details if held.
- Any bank accounts, credit/debit cards, post office accounts, savings accounts including ISAs or bonds they hold. Basically, any funds the offender has access to, including business and joint accounts, although there is no requirement to furnish details of who the other person/people on the account are.
- National Insurance number.
How and when to register
To register these details the individual is required to attend IN PERSON at a PRESCRIBED police station. Please note that not all Police stations are prescribed police stations.
- If the individual is notifying their main address or annually re-notifying their details this must be done in the Force area in which they reside, however it does not have to be the same district, the individual may prefer to travel to another Police station within the same Force area.
- If the individual is notifying an additional address, they can register it in either the Force area they reside or the Force area that covers the additional address.
- If the individual is notifying foreign travel, they can register at any prescribed Police station in the UK.
A person subject to registration requirements must register or re-register ALL details:
- within three days of becoming liable to register (initial registration)
- within three days of release from any term of imprisonment
- within three days of ANY change to ANY details as above and,
- if there has been no change within 12 months, they must re-register ALL their details above every year.
It is important to note that the legislation counts the day of conviction/release/change as the first day, so a person convicted on a Monday has Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday to register, after that an offence of breach of registration requirement is committed.
In addition, a person who is registered as homeless or No Fixed Abode (NFA) must re-register every seven days and include a place where they can be found until such time as he or she registers an address.
The Sexual Offences Act 2003 also gives police the power to take the person’s fingerprints and photograph when they make a notification at a Police station for identification purposes if required.
When attending to register it is important that the person confirms all the registerable details including all the addresses as per points three and four above with the person at the Police station who is completing the form. They must also be satisfied that the form has been completed with the correct details. A copy of the registration form will be offered to the person registering.
Ultimately the legislation places the responsibility for compliance with the registration details upon the person who is subject to the notification requirements.
A person commits an offence if they fail to comply with the Sex Offender Registration requirements or provides false information. This may be punishable by up to five years imprisonment
What about travelling abroad?
If a person is subject to sex offender register requirements it does not mean they cannot travel abroad. However, they must register the details of the travel with the Police at least seven days in advance.
The details required to be registered are as follows:
- Date of departure from UK
- Destination(s) including airport and airline details
- Accommodation arrangements
It is a legal requirement that persons subject to Sex Offender Registration notify their travel plans seven days before departure UNLESS the details are not known at that time. If an individual has to make last minute plans to travel outside the country then they must notify them at least 12 hours before departure.
When registering foreign travel the individual does not have to notify Police of the date when they are returning to the UK, but if they do not notify this when registering travel they will be required to re-register within three days of their return to the UK. Similarly, if an individual does notify a return date and then, for whatever reason, does not return on that date, they will also be required to re-register upon their return. These re-registrations should be completed as per an annual re-registration.
Generally registering foreign travel does not affect the annual re-registration date unless the person has been required to make a full re-registration upon return as above.
Edit: ToS of Social Media (Meta, Haunted Bird etc) means he is excluded
He will be assigned an Offender Manager from the MOSOVO Team who can turn up unannounced at his house to carry out visits/compliance checks etc. Having 'Violent and Sex Offender Manager" on your business card takes a very unique skill set
His OM will also be able to issue an Interpol Green Notice which notifies the receiving immigration officers at destination of his history. On return his passport will light up like a NYE firework display to the UKBF officer who will submit their own intelligence report. This goes into the compliance part......i.e i will return on X date. Show up 4 days later and you may have a problem etc

Because I've now run out of time to edit:
He is now what is known as a ViSOR Nominal. ViSOR is the Violent and Sex Offender Register. The system is the national UK database for managing and recording the details of not just RSO's but a number of other nominals who pose a risk to the public. Accessible by the Police, Prisons and Probation Service etc
Every ViSOR Nominal will have a risk management plan and risk assessment attached to their ViSOR record.

And before anyone has a stroke, this information is publicly available. None of it compromises operational integrity or methods. The above information is pretty much as much as anyone will tell you without crossing the integrity or methods line, which I wont do.
But it should be fairly obvious from that info that there is a management scheme in place which is fairly extensive.
I am more off a lurker but have followed this thread from the start. Don’t have much of a contribution other than to say the constant stupid side eye thing jizz does actually makes me itch. Oh and like everyone else delighted that the dirty c u next Tuesday has got what he always deserved. Wish jizz and the rest of the hills have eyes cast he calls family were with him.
