A Bradford man, who became the first person in West Yorkshire to be made subject of a Violent Offender Order, breached it within days, a court heard yesterday.

Kevin Wilson was banned from going within 500 metres of his former partner, Julie Henderson, but police found him sat upright in a bed at her home, Bradford magistrates were told.

Wilson, 42, also known as Kevin Chatterton, pleaded guilty to failing to comply with conditions of the Violent Offender Order.

Prosecutor Mark Steeples told the court Wilson was given an extended four-year jail sentence in November, 2006, for wounding his former partner. Mr Steeples said that before his release from custody, Wilson was made aware that West Yorkshire Police would be applying for an order, which was granted by Wakefield magistrates on May 26, when the defendant was present.

He was released from custody on June 4 and the Violent Offender Order was brought in two weeks later. It will remain in force until June, 2015.

Mr Steeples said the order prohibited Wilson, who gave his address as Allerton Road, Bradford, from approaching within 500 metres of Julie Henderson, or her home, or having direct or indirect contact with her.

The prosecutor said that on June 24 Wilson was found with her at her home and was arrested for breaching the order. There was no allegation of assault.

He was sentenced to seven days in prison but released almost immediately for time served.

Mr Steeples said the woman again contacted the police on Thursday morning to report a man causing a nuisance outside her home.

An officer attended, searched the address and found Wilson sitting upright on a bed.

He was arrested and cautioned and told police: “I’ll go back there if she keeps inviting me.”

Wilson, who was flanked in the dock by three security officers, had previous convictions for assaults and violence, the court heard.

His solicitor Sarah Guttman said he had been released from custody with little support and was confused about the order.

She said he could benefit from the intervention of the probation service.

During the hearing Wilson interrupted the proceedings to say: “She keeps inviting me there.

“What am I supposed to do? Send me to jail. At the end of the day, I am not being violent to anybody.”

Chairman of the bench, Hugh Simpson, said a full pre-sentence report would be prepared and it was in the defendant’s interests to comply with probation.

The magistrates remanded Wilson in custody.
