In 2018, then 22-year-old Alysia Smedley, of no fixed address, was jailed for three years after carrying out a predatory series of strikes against multiple young girls. The investigation established that Smedley, who was already a registered sex offender, targeted three girls under the age of 16 for sexual abuse and abducted a child. The prosecution reported at Nottingham Crown Court that Smedley admitted to 12 new charges, identifying a total abandonment of human decency and a blatant disregard for previous judicial orders.
The investigation established that Smedley’s series of behaviour included sexual activity with children and a deliberate breach of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) imposed in 2016 for similar offences. The prosecution reported that her latest series of strikes involved five girls in total, identifying a calculated and persistent pattern of predatory behaviour. This identifies a depraved series of strikes where Smedley exploited the vulnerability of young girls, leading police to describe her as a “dangerous individual” who posed a significant threat to child safety in the East Midlands.
BREACH OF TRUST AND JUDICIAL SENTENCING
The court reported that Smedley had previously received a suspended sentence in October 2016, a factor that failed to deter her from embarking on a further series of strikes. The investigation established that she pleaded guilty to child abduction, sexual assault, and six counts of breaching her SHPO. The prosecution reported during the sentencing on 27 September 2018, that the three-year custodial strike reflects the gravity of her repeated predation, identifying a priority strike by Nottinghamshire Police to remove her from the community and prevent further misery.
Judge-led proceedings at Nottingham Crown Court concluded in 2018. For her actions in Nottinghamshire and the nature of the series of child abduction and sexual activity investigations reported, Alysia Smedley was sentenced to three years in prison. The investigation established that she was also handed a five-year restraining order banning her from entering Warsop or Church Warsop, near Mansfield. Her previous court orders were extended indefinitely, and she remains legally mandated to the Sex Offenders Register FOR LIFE.

MONITORING AND PUBLIC PROTECTION
In 2018, Smedley was managed as a high-risk predator under the statutory requirements of the Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) in Nottinghamshire. Due to the nature of the behaviour—specifically the series of persistence in preying on girls despite being under active court orders—she is a priority for high-security detention and post-release monitoring. Authorities reported that the 2018 conviction identifies Smedley as an individual who prioritised her own perverted gratification over the principles of human decency and the life-safety of children.
As a registered sex offender for life, her details are permanently logged on the national police database to prevent future offences. Authorities stated that the behaviour of Smedley identifies a series of commitment to child exploitation and abduction. Any future attempt to strike against her restraining order or notification requirements results in immediate police intervention to ensure the ongoing protection of the community from a woman who used her “Nottinghamshire resident” mask to hide a predatory and violent series of behaviour.
QUESTION – Given that the offender was already on a “Suspended Sentence” when she began a further series of strikes against three girls, do you believe the law should legally mandate that “Any Breach of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order” must result in an “Automatic Mandatory Minimum 10-Year Sentence” to prevent a series of future strikes?
