The defendant had been convicted of sexual assaults, and made subject to a detention and training order, and also placed on the sex offenders register. On release he had failed to register as a sex offender, thinking his obligation to do so had expired.
Held: The length of the sex offender registration was decided by reference to the length of the detention part of the order, not including the training period which followed. Applying the Acts, by the time he was challenged, the relative period had expired.
