A SEX offender broke the registration rules and when police came to call he was 'abusive' because they 'woke him up'.

James Brown appeared before magistrates in Worcester on Monday after he admitted failing to comply with his notification requirements as a registered sex offender.

The 29-year-old was contacted repeatedly by police by telephone, email and even home visit because he had failed to complete the annual notification form between May 21 and June 3 this year.

Liz Blacklock, prosecuting, said Brown's offender manager would visit him at his registered address in Evesham but when the officer came around 'he was not in or would not answer the door'.

On May 7 Brown was allocated a new offender manager with the defendant being notified of this the same day. On May 21 he was down to complete his annual sex offender notification form.

However, Brown failed to attend the police station and had not made contact with police to say he would not be attending. Brown was sent an email on May 24 by his offender manager, urging him to complete the form as soon as possible. On May 26 a further email was sent telling him he needed to complete the paperwork 'as a matter of urgency'. An officer attended his address on June 7 where the windows were described as being 'boarded up so he could not see inside'.

"Eventually he (Brown) opened the door and became verbally aggressive, complaining about being woken up" said Miss Blacklock.

Details of the conviction from 2014 were not outlined in open court. "He says he simply forgot (to complete the form) and had a lot going on" said Miss Blacklock.

Brown of Blossomfield Close, Evesham, was made subject to a 12 month community order which will include 25 rehabilitation activity requirement days. Further to this he must pay costs of £185 and a victim surcharge of £95.

The defendant, who is on Universal Credit, agreed to pay at £5 per week.
