Registered Kettering sex offender didn't tell police his details

A registered sex offender from Kettering was back in court after failing to tell police his details.

Carl McAlwane, 46, is on the register for sex offenders and must comply with strict conditions so he can be monitored.

Conditions include making authorities aware of where offenders are staying, who they are staying with and where they are going to try and prevent future offending.

Failing to meet the register's requirements is a crime in itself, punishable by prison.

On November 5 last year McAlwane, of Eden Street, failed to comply with the requirements of the register because he did not notify police of his details every 12 months.

Earlier this month he was hauled in front of magistrates again in Northampton where he admitted failing to comply with sex offender registration requirements.

He was fined £100 and ordered to pay costs of £85 and a surcharge to fund victim services of £32.
