Paedophile who repeatedly abused girl, 13, breaches order less than year after release

A paedophile breached his sexual harm prevention order multiple times, less than a year after being released from prison. Danion Nuttall was originally jailed in 2018 after being convicted of three counts of sexual activity with a child.

Nuttall, 29, began speaking to the 13-year-old girl after meeting her at a bike racing event, prosecution barrister Bob Sastry told Bolton Crown Court. He then met up with her on a number of occasions and abused her.

He was jailed for 40 months and released on licence in June 2020, the court heard. Between April and October 2021, he breached his notification requirement and sexual harm prevention order on two occasions after failing to disclose contact with children to the probation service.

Mr Sastry told the court that the breaches were carried out in Wigan and confirmed that the nature of the contact was not sexual. Defending Nuttall, Gerald Baxter told the court that Nuttall eventually came clean to the probation service and was recalled to prison in October 2021.

Mr Baxter also said that Nuttall has written a letter from prison in which he admitted the offences and apologised.

Judge Tom Gilbart jailed Nuttall, of no fixed address, for ten months after he pleaded guilty to two counts of breaching a notification requirement and two counts of breaching a sexual harm prevention order.

He said: “It is deeply troubling that you were associating with children. This was a wilful breach, done quite deliberately, in the knowledge it was wrong.”
