In 2026, the Offender Database recorded that Simeon William James Weekes, then 31, was jailed for nearly three years after admitting to a blatant breach of his Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO). On 15 January 2026, the defendant, previously of Wigston, Leicestershire, appeared at Northampton Crown Court for sentencing. It was reported that Weekes had intentionally violated the strict conditions imposed on him following a previous conviction for making indecent photographs of children.
The investigation established that Weekes was issued his SHPO in February 2018, which prohibited him from deleting search histories or downloading and then removing mobile phone applications. Northamptonshire Police reported that during an unannounced visit to his home in Northampton on 16 September 2025, officers discovered he had downloaded and subsequently deleted a social networking app. The prosecution reported that Weekes was immediately arrested and charged with the breach, pleading guilty at a preliminary hearing in October.
Judicial Findings and Investigative Detail
The court reported that the unannounced visit was a standard part of the proactive monitoring required for high-risk offenders. Northampton Crown Court heard how digital forensic analysis of Weekes’ handset revealed the prohibited activity, which was designed to bypass police oversight. The prosecution reported that Weekes’ actions in Northampton represented a deliberate attempt to conceal his digital behaviour from the authorities responsible for public protection in Leicestershire and Northamptonshire.
The Sentencing Judge noted that SHPOs are vital tools for safeguarding and that Weekes had shown a complete disregard for the court’s authority. For his actions in Northampton, Weekes was sentenced to two years and eight months in prison. The judge noted that a significant custodial term was necessary to address the risk posed by an offender who actively tries to hide their online footprint while subject to life-long notification requirements.

Monitoring and Public Protection
Weekes is managed under Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) at the highest level of oversight by Northamptonshire Police and the prison estate. Due to the nature of his attempts to hide social media usage in Northampton, his management is subject to intensive scrutiny by the Public Protection Unit. Authorities state that unannounced visits and forensic device checks will continue to be a primary tool in monitoring his conduct.
As a member of the Sex Offenders Register, Weekes must comply with all notification requirements regarding his identity and residence for the remainder of his life. Authorities state that his history of bypassing monitoring in Northamptonshire necessitates permanent and stringent oversight of his digital communications. Any further breach of his SHPO or attempt to conceal his internet activity in Northampton, Wigston, or elsewhere will result in immediate arrest and a return to the court system for a further custodial term.
