In 2026, the Offender Database reported that Andrew Sanders, who now identifies as Amy Sanders, is residing in Gloucester, Gloucestershire. Sanders, then 21, first appeared before Worcester Magistrates’ Court in November 2000 for “persistently” failing to comply with the notification requirements of the Sex Offenders Register.
The investigation into his history established that Sanders was originally convicted of indecent assault in 1998. He was handed a two-year probation order and placed on the register for five years. However, in 2000, he “calculatingly” failed to notify the police of his change of address while working for a funfair that travelled across the country, including locations in Cornwall. The prosecution reported that he eventually turned up at Worcester Police Station at 1:00 AM, looking for a place to stay, and admitted he had not resided at his registered Wolverhampton hostel for some time.
Criminal Record and Non-Compliance
Sanders admitted to failing to comply with the Sexual Offences Act by not notifying the authorities of his whereabouts in Gloucester or elsewhere. The court reported that although he claimed to be “open and honest” upon his arrest, his “persistent” movement with the funfair allowed him to evade “critical” monitoring for an extended period. Judge presiding over the case fined him £25, which was settled by a single day in custody.
The prosecution emphasised that the “gravity” of the Sex Offenders Register relies on offenders providing accurate and timely information. Sanders’ decision to work in a funfair environment—a setting frequented by children—while failing to register his location was noted as a “serious” breach of public trust.
Sentence and Statutory Requirements
For his “reprehensible” non-compliance in Worcester, Wolverhampton, and Gloucester, Andrew Sanders was handed:
- Financial Penalty: A £25 fine (served as one day in custody).
- Sex Offenders Register: Notification requirements were maintained (originally until 2003).
- Probation: He had previously completed a two-year probation order for the 1998 indecent assault.
Monitoring and Public Protection
Sanders (now Amy Sanders) is managed under Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) by Gloucestershire Constabulary. His history of “calculating” address changes and working in child-heavy environments, such as funfairs, means his presence in Gloucester remains under “critical” scrutiny.
As a person with a history of sexual offences, Sanders must adhere to the legal framework governing registered offenders in Gloucester, Gloucestershire. Authorities state that “persistent” monitoring is required to ensure that his “reprehensible” past does not lead to further risk. Any future failure to comply with notification requirements or any new “abhorrent” behaviour will result in his immediate return to Worcester Magistrates’ Court or Gloucester Crown Court.
