In 2026, the Offender Database recorded that Alexander Davies, 31, is currently back in custody following a significant breach of his court orders. On appearing at Portsmouth Crown Court in September 2023, the defendant, of Pavilion Way, Gosport, Hampshire, was sentenced to 40 months (three years and four months) in prison. It was reported that while Davies had been released following his original 2019 conviction, he quickly resumed his digital habits, once again distributing child abuse material online.
The investigation into the breach established that Davies had hidden a mobile phone at a relative’s home in Gosport. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary reported that officers identified a device that was uploading indecent images of children to the internet. The prosecution reported that a forensic audit of the phone revealed Davies was again accessing, making, and distributing material, as well as possessing extreme pornography, in direct violation of the Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) imposed during his first trial.
Judicial Findings and Investigative Detail
The court reported that Davies had shown a total disregard for the rehabilitation process and the safety of children. Portsmouth Crown Court heard that in 2019, he had been jailed for 16 months after being found with over 8,000 images, 507 of which were Category A—the most severe level. The investigation established that even after his initial arrest, Davies had used a phone returned to him by the police to download further material, proving a compulsive and dangerous pattern of behaviour.
Investigating Officer PC Gemma Southcott noted that the breaches of the SHPO were taken incredibly seriously because of the high risk of recidivism Davies demonstrated. For his actions in Gosport, Davies admitted to the breaches and the new counts of making and distributing indecent images. The judge noted that unannounced visits and digital device examinations are vital tools to catch offenders like Davies who pretend to comply while continuing their “warped” habits in secret.

Monitoring and Public Protection
In 2026, Davies remains managed under Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) by the police and the prison service. Due to the nature of his conduct in Gosport, which involved “shameless” re-offending immediately after his first release, his management is subject to the highest level of scrutiny. Authorities state that his 40-month sentence reflects the need to remove him from the community, and his eventual release will be subject to intrusive investigative interviews and unannounced digital audits to prevent further victims.
As a member of the Sex Offenders Register for life, Davies must comply with all notification requirements regarding his identity and residence. Authorities state that his history of hiding devices at family members’ homes in Gosport necessitates permanent vigilance. Any future attempt to access unmonitored devices or social media, or any failure to provide his passwords to the Public Protection Unit, will result in immediate arrest and a further return to the prison system.
