Woman went on holiday to Turkey unaware she was with convicted paedophile - until they were stopped at the border
A man from Grimsby was caught breaching a Sexual Harm Prevention Order after his new girlfriend discovered his status as a registered sex offender at the Turkish border. The man had failed to disclose his previous convictions for sexual communications with children to his partner.
Why it matters
The case underscores the legal and social implications of failing to comply with sex offender registration requirements and the importance of public safety measures.
A woman only discovered she was dating a registered sex offender when they were turned away at a Turkish border control. Warehouse driver, Daniel Greaves, 34, of Ladysmith Road, Grimsby had not told his new girlfriend about his conviction for four offences of engaging in sexual communications with a child two years ago. At Grimsby Crown Court in December 2024, he received a two-year community order and was told he was on the Sex Offenders Register. He was also ordered to comply with conditions of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order. That meant he could have no unsupervised contact with under 16s. Greaves admitted two breaches of the Sexual Harm Prevention Order in January and February this year. Prosecuting at Grimsby Crown Court, barrister, Craig Lowe told how in January of this year, Greaves and his new girlfriend went to a local pub for lunch with two children.
