Child rapist jailed AGAIN after living with kids and deleting 2,094 web searches, tell me about this news in (https://www.stokesentinel.co.uk/news/stoke-on-trent-news/child-rapist-jailed-again-after-11157262)

According to the report from The Sentinel, 50-year-old registered sex offender Mark Sproston, of Cliff Street, Smallthorne, has been sentenced to 33 months in prison at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court after repeatedly violating the terms of his indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) and sex offender notification requirements.Key Details of the Case

• Criminal Background: Sproston was originally jailed for six years in July 2007 for having sexual intercourse with a child and possessing indecent material, at which point he was placed under a lifelong SHPO. He was later jailed for 24 months in May 2022 for four separate breaches of the order.
• The Recent Offenses: While on licence from prison, Sproston committed further serious breaches:
  • Living with Children: Police discovered on May 27 that he had been staying at a home where two children lived. Neighbors told responding officers that he had been residing at the property for roughly 12 months without notifying authorities.
  • Deleted Internet Activity: Police seized two mobile phones that Sproston claimed had broken accidentally. A digital forensic examination revealed that 2,094 internet search history records had been deleted, primarily concerning Facebook messages.
  • Illicit Material: Investigators recovered downloaded images from Facebook on the devices, including images of a child and upskirt photos.
  • Undisclosed Accounts: He failed to notify police of accounts he had set up on the online platforms bet365 and Truth Social.

Court DecisionSproston pleaded guilty to breaching his SHPO and failing to comply with notification requirements. His defense noted family responsibilities, including caring for his elderly mother, and argued that he had periods of compliance in the past.However, Judge Graeme Smith ruled that a custodial sentence was unavoidable, pointing out that Sproston committed the offenses while on licence and that the probation service considered him a severe risk to children due to his ongoing refusal or inability to follow court-mandated safeguarding orders. He will serve at least half of his 33-month sentence in custody before being eligible for release on licence.
