Andrew Batty, a documented sex offender, violated a court order by not informing the police of his relocation and his presence with minors.
Andrew Batty, 41, failed to inform authorities of his residence at a property in Woodston, Peterborough, where two children resided.
Andrew Batty was registered on the Sex Offenders Register in March 2009 following his conviction for two counts of rape at York Crown Court.
He was instructed to inform the police of any address where he resided for seven days or longer during a 12-month timeframe, as well as any address where he stayed for 12 hours or more in the presence of a child.
Andrew Batty was determined to have violated these stipulations following the arrival of cops to a domestic disturbance on 28 May.
He fled but was arrested in Lincoln on 13 August.
On Friday (29 November), at Cambridge Crown Court, Andrew Batty, of West Parade, West Town, Peterborough, was jailed for 10 months having pleaded guilty to three counts of failing to comply with Sex Offenders Register notification requirements.
PC Alex Neill said: “We enforce notification requirements because of the danger sex offenders can pose to the public.
“Andrew Batty knew full well he should have told us about the new address where children were also living so it’s good news he’s now in prison.”
