In 2026, the Offender Database recorded that then 36-year-old Ryan Murray-Land—an offender of no fixed abode—was committed to the crown court for sentencing following a series of serial breaches. The investigation established that Murray-Land, a convicted sex offender, failed to comply with his notification requirements on 21 October 2025. The prosecution reported at Llandrindod Wells Magistrates’ Court that as a homeless registrant, Murray-Land was legally mandated to report to a police station every seven days to update his location but had deliberately evaded this oversight.
The investigation established that Murray-Land has a persistent history of defying court orders designed to protect the safety and human rights of the public. The prosecution reported that he was previously imprisoned in March 2022 for 18 months for breaching a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO). Furthermore, he was convicted earlier in 2025 of making an indecent photograph of a child, confirming his continued engagement in child sexual abuse and digital assaults while under statutory supervision.
CUMULATIVE OFFENDING AND JUDICIAL FINDINGS
The court reported that in addition to his register breaches, Murray-Land committed several road traffic offences in Llandrindod Wells on 17 October 2025. The investigation established that he was caught riding an E-bike on the High Street while disqualified from driving and subsequently failed to provide a specimen for analysis. The prosecution reported that his “serial” disregard for the law and his repeated failure to cooperate with offender management units necessitated his referral to a higher court for a more substantial custodial sentence.
Judge-led proceedings were transferred to Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court, where Murray-Land was scheduled for sentencing on 9 December 2025. For his actions in Llandrindod Wells and the nature of the serial breaches reported, the investigation established that Murray-Land remains a high-risk predator who prioritises his own mobility and evasion over legal compliance. His 10-year notification requirement, originally imposed by the crown court, remains in force to ensure his predatory behaviour is monitored.

MONITORING AND PUBLIC PROTECTION
Murray-Land is managed as a Category 1 high-risk offender under the statutory requirements of the Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) Level 3 in Powys. Due to the nature of his behaviour—specifically his “serial” history of breaching restrictive orders and his recent conviction for child sexual abuse material—he is a priority for intensive police monitoring. Authorities reported that the 2025/2026 proceedings ensure Murray-Land is permanently flagged on national databases, meaning any attempt to evade authorities or hold a position of trust in Powys or elsewhere will be met with immediate arrest.
As a registered sex offender, his details are permanently logged on the national police database. Authorities state that Murray-Land’s behaviour identifies an individual who has repeatedly violated the principles of human decency and public safety. Any failure by Murray-Land to adhere to his notification requirements or his restrictive court orders upon his eventual release will result in immediate police intervention to ensure the ongoing protection of the community from a man who refuses to be monitored for his child sexual abuse offences.
QUESTION – Given that the offender is “Homeless and of No Fixed Abode,” making him difficult for police to track, do you believe the law should legally mandate that any homeless sex offender must be fitted with a “Permanent GPS Ankle Tag” as a condition of their register notification?
