Sex offender sent back to jail
A sex offender who failed to keep police informed of where he was living has been sent back to prison.
Darwyn Scandrett, (22), stayed in Peterborough when he was released from prison in March 2017 but did not keep authorities informed of where he was living and failed to attend appointments with the Probation Service.
In attempts to evade arrest Scandrett even gave his brother’s details to police when he was stopped by officers in both Norwich and Peterborough. On August 1 officers found Scandrett staying at a property in Greenham, Peterborough, where a child was also living.
Although he was never left unsupervised with the child it still constituted a breach of regulations as he had not informed police.
Scandrett, of no fixed abode, entered guilty pleas to three counts of failing to comply with the Sexual Offences Act when he appeared at court.
On Friday at Peterborough Crown Court he was jailed for a total of one year and three months.
Detective Constable Neal Holdsworth,fromCambridgeshire police welcomed the sentence.
He said: “Scandrett repeatedly failed to comply with the terms of his release from prison and deliberately tried to evade arrest.
“Protecting children is a priority for the constabulary and we will do all we can to keep our communities safe.”
