Peterborough convicted sex offender jailed after breaching court order that stopped him creating email accounts
A convicted sex offender in Peterborough has been jailed after breaching a strict court order by setting up various accounts and email addresses.
Police say that Justin Noble (42) defied the terms of his sex offender notification requirements by opening various ‘secret’ accounts, including on eBay, and failing to inform police.
A Cambridgeshire police spokesperson said: “The order was imposed in 2024 after Noble was given a six-month jail sentence for breaching a previous order dating back to 2016.
“Specialist officers from the force’s management of serious and violent offenders unit (MOSOVO) paid a routine visit to Noble’s home in Peterborough in January 2025 and requested to look at his phone.
"They discovered a number of accounts and email addresses had been set up, which breached the conditions of his order.”
Police say that Noble was arrested and initially denied the allegations, but later pleaded guilty to failing to comply with his sex offender notification requirements.
He was sentenced to one year and two months in prison at Cambridge Crown Court on August 28.
Afterwards, investigating officer Detective Constable Claire Cummings said: “Sexual harm prevention orders and notification requirements are there to manage risk and safeguard the public.
"Breaching them is a serious offence, and we will take robust action against anyone who fails to comply.
She added: “I would encourage anyone with concerns about someone’s behaviour, particularly where children may be at risk, to report it to us.”
