Graham Marshall was found to have various cleaning apps on his mobile phone that deletes his history.
A sex offender from Great Harwood has been sent back to prison for breaching his sexual harm prevention order.
In a statement released after sentencing, Lancashire Police said,
“Graham Marshall was issued with the order when he was jailed in 2020 for distributing indecent images of children and encouraging the commission of a sexual offence against a child.
Marshall was released from prison in February this year, and in May moved back to Lancashire where he was monitored by Lancashire Police’s East MOSOVO (Management of Sexual or Violent Offenders) team.
During a visit to Marshall’s home in Great Harwood on 12th August, offender managers found he had installed three ‘cleaning’ apps – which delete usage data – on his mobile phone, and an app which had a VPN function.
Doing this was in breach of his sexual harm prevention order.
Marshall was arrested and remanded in custody.
On Tuesday, Marshall, 41, of Town Hall Square, Great Harwood, appeared at Preston Crown Court.
He was jailed for three years and four months after pleading guilty to four offences of breaching the sexual harm prevention order.
