The legislation provides for such orders to ensure sexual offenders who are released from jail continue to be monitored by the authorities to keep them away from potential victims.
Webster has, however, avoided the imposition of a sexual harm prevention order because Justice Quin found it could not be applied retrospectively. “What is deeply unattractive is he blames everyone except himself for these guilty verdicts,” the judge said.
Justice Charles Quin described Webster’s offences as “grave” and that his responsibility for the crimes was “very high”, even though Webster refuses to accept his conviction. (CNS): Former firefighter and political hopeful, Errington Webster (55), has been handed a six-year prison term for the sexual offences he committed against a 13-year-old girl in 2016.
