sex offender wants to see his son

[pajamapants1]

My ex partner has recently being sentenced with 5years on the sex offenders register and a 3year community order for sex offenders rehabillitation. He rang me the other day saying he wants to see his son, social services have told him he's allowed. I rang ss asking if this is correct and they said yes, the only thing I can do is get a residency order and a no contact order against him. They said this is because my son was not a direct victim. Can anyone shed any light on if this is true or not? I can't understand why they would allow something like this?
Thankyou for any help!

Yes, sadly it is true. All you can do is try to minimise contact as far as you can. You'll need to get legal advice.

If you are determined to stop contact then you could move. As long as you don't take the child out of the country then the courts can't force you to return and it might just be enough to put him off seeking contact.

See a solicitor and examine your options.

It depends on what he has been convicted of exactly.

pan, yes it was. He was charged with something like making indecent copies or something. He had nearly 2000 photos ranging between level 1-5. And 20 videos. Have you heard of a registered so getting access before?

Yes, they get access. It's often supervised.

OP, I've responded on your other thread.

That's awful. This man has caused my ds no end of shit.
Thanks for your help hidden
