Clacton man given Sexual Risk Order lasting eight years
Court grants police powers to monitor devices and restrict internet use
A man from Clacton has been issued with a Sexual Risk Order lasting eight years, giving police the power to monitor his devices, internet activity, and personal relationships.
Shane Crump, 23, of Parry Drive, was handed the order at Chelmsford Magistrates’ Court on 21st January 2026. Under its conditions, Crump must notify police if he uses devices capable of accessing the internet, cloud storage, or social media, and he is prohibited from deleting text or call data, installing encryption software, or starting intimate relationships without informing officers.
The order also bans Crump from sending or requesting non-consensual indecent images from any woman under 18 years of age.
Police confirmed they will carry out unscheduled checks of Crump’s devices and data throughout the duration of the order, which will remain in effect until 2034.
Monitoring individuals at risk
The Sexual Risk Order was secured following intelligence gathering and case building by Essex Police’s Domestic Abuse Problem Solving Team.
Sergeant Sonia Mirrington-French said:
“This proactive work is just an example of the steps we take to keep the public safe.
“An SRO provides us with the powers we need to monitor individuals who the court agrees could pose a risk to the public.
“The potential for that risk is based on dozens of hours of intelligence gathering, case building and partnership work to make sure we have the fullest picture of someone’s behaviour before making these applications.
“It shows the steps we take as soon as we can to tackle violence against women and girls in Essex.”
