Malak Siftul-Hassan

Malak Siftul-Hassan, a 33-year-old repeat sex offender from Crawley, was prosecuted for violating a sexual harm prevention order by making contact with a teenage girl. This breach occurred despite legal restrictions imposed following previous convictions for sexual offences.

The incident was reported to Sussex Police, who monitored Siftul-Hassan's compliance with the order. Investigations revealed that he had deliberately sought out and met with the underage girl, actions that posed a significant risk to public safety. Court documents from the UK Sex Offenders Database detail how this repeat offending demonstrated a pattern of disregard for legal boundaries designed to protect vulnerable individuals.

In court, the prosecution highlighted Siftul-Hassan's history of sexual offences, arguing that the breach warranted strict measures to prevent further harm. The judge, acknowledging the predatory nature of the actions, imposed a sentence on 28 June 2024 that included imprisonment to reinforce the seriousness of breaching such orders. This case serves as a reminder of the importance of enforcement mechanisms in managing registered sex offenders within the community.
