A Yeovil teenager has appeared in court charged with breaching the requirements of the National Sex Offenders Register.
Sam Francis Jones, 19, of St Michaels Road, appeared before Somerset Magistrates, sitting at Yeovil, charged with offences alleged to have been committed over a three month period between March 1 and June 24 this year.
He denied a charge that, being a relevant offender within the terms of the Sexual Offences Act, he failed to comply with the notification requirements in that he had been living at an address that he failed to register with the police.
He also denied a charge involving a similar offence when he was allegedly living at an address in Yeovil where a person under the age of 18 also lived.
Jones elected to stand trial at Taunton Crown Court and the case was adjourned until Tuesday, August 27, when he must attend a preliminary hearing there.
