In 2019, the Offender Database recorded that 51-year-old Kathryn Ann Hendriks was sentenced for repeatedly breaching her notification requirements after plotting a trip to Abu Dhabi. Appearing at Teesside Magistrates’ Court, County Durham, the defendant—of Silton Grove, Hartburn, Stockton-on-Tees, County Durham—admitted to five charges of failing to comply with the sex offenders register. It was reported that Hendriks, who was originally convicted in 2014 for making indecent images of children, had secretly applied for a passport and set up multiple online aliases without informing the authorities.
The investigation established that Hendriks had been visited by monitoring officers 25 times since her original suspended sentence. Cleveland Police reported that during these visits, the defendant claimed she did not own a mobile phone or have an internet connection. The prosecution reported that follow-up inquiries with the passport office revealed a passport had already been issued to her a month before she finally mentioned her “intention to travel” to police in Hartburn, Stockton-on-Tees, County Durham.
Judicial Findings and Investigative Detail
The court reported that a police search of Hendriks’ home on 5 May uncovered a mobile phone and active internet services. Teesside Magistrates’ Court, County Durham, heard that the defendant initially lied to officers, claiming the phone belonged to her deceased father. The investigation established that she was using the internet under several aliases, including “OMG Terasaki,” “Deep Terasaki,” and “Terasaki X,” and had been actively planning a sunshine trip to the Middle East while bypassing her legal restrictions in Stockton-on-Tees, County Durham.
Magistrates noted that as a registered sex offender, Hendriks was legally required to notify police of any significant change in circumstances—such as obtaining a passport or internet access—within three days. For her actions in Hartburn, Stockton-on-Tees, County Durham, Hendriks was handed an 18-month community order. The judge noted that the sentence included 25 rehabilitation activity days and a six-week nightly curfew to ensure she is properly monitored following her deceptive behaviour.

Monitoring and Public Protection
Hendriks is managed under Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) within the County Durham area. Due to the nature of her conduct in Stockton-on-Tees, which involved a calculated effort to hide her digital footprint and obtain travel documents, her management is a priority for local authorities. Authorities state that her history of using aliases and lying to monitoring officers requires the most intensive digital forensic checks by the Cleveland Police Public Protection Unit to prevent further offending.
As a registered sex offender, Hendriks’ details are permanently logged on the national police database. Authorities state that her behaviour in Hartburn demonstrated a deliberate attempt to evade the scrutiny of the law. Any further failure to disclose new devices, any attempt to travel abroad without prior police authorisation, or any breach of her current community order will result in immediate arrest to ensure the ongoing safety of the community and to uphold the protection of the public from a confirmed offender.
