Campaigners want a 'Della's Law' to ban sex offenders changing names, named after survivor Della WrightHundreds of sex offenders across the UK slipped off the radar of police in a three-year period, the BBC can reveal.
The BBC Shared Data Unit also found that almost 1,500 registered sex offenders notified police forces of lawful name changes. Twenty-one police forces provided those figures.Name changes 'scandal'Critics say the law is too easy to bypass because it places the onus on offenders to report changes in their circumstances.were the victims of abuse between 1997 and 2013.
If any of these personal details change, they must notify the police within three days or offenders can face up to five years in prison. "It shouldn't be for victims and survivors to beg Government to do something about this. We're still having to ask in 2023." Donald Findlater, director at the Lucy Faithfull Foundation charity, which is dedicated to preventing child sexual abuse, said some offenders changed their name to build a better life and not offend in future, or to "protect their family from the stigma of their identity".
Try Pizza Express, look for one who does not sweat x
Has anyone checked the Met?
makes the crime clear up figures look great though.
bbc5live Exactly, has anyone seen Andrew recently?
I mean, these things happen...
Imagine how much worse it would be if they could change their gender, by law, as well.
With England’s inept and corrupt police force this is sadly not surprising.
bbc5live They went to Wembley on Sunday.
Sorry but the grammar in the headline makes me embarrassed and distracts from the point of the article being published . Al least phrase it better . Sound pure Glesga “ went missing”
Not like the BBC have ever hidden sex offenders is it 🤦♂️
Have you checked the Tory run police forces?
And thats without all the illegal immigrant ones.
Remember when Theresa May “lost” the paedo papers?
Probably went back home
Obviously don't ever allow them to change thier have Identity.
And yet all the media did was concentrate on Gary Glitters release.....well done MSM for prioritising 1 celeb over the masses
To the dungeon
Tory Britain
sharrond62 Plenty of sex offenders work or have once worked for the BBC.
Check the dingy divers
Have the police looked in their own offices?
That's because the police are to busy stopping motorists for bonus payments!😱🤷♂️👤👀👀
13 years of tory government incompetence.
This has been going on for ages, and now finally a mainstream media outlet has woken up!
sharrond62 Such a stupid, simple thing to allow this to happen ! 'Oh I'm naughty, I'll just change my name !'
Imagine what they'd get away with with self-ID for a fiver as per Scotland's GRR bill. No checks, no balances, no questions. Just a new birth certificate and a criminal investigation for anyone who questions your self-declared 'identity'.
Bravo
Just check unisex toilets.
Check Romania
Hopefully all the barrels some where
Ukraine is real problem of UK govt not these sex offenders.

What's that? Something else that ID Cards would stop. Tbh I am not surprised we have the party of shit dumping, bribe taking, Russian bought, paedo protectors in power.
Perhaps they’ve been neutralised 😊
But we knew where he was, the whole time!!!
I’m sure if they check the police canteen they’ll find most of them there, killing time before they start their shift.
Check the MET 👍🏻
In Rotherham?
Check the House of Commons.
Typical behaviour
How many police failings has there been this year? I’ve literally lost count.
Sex offenders don’t just go missing,they have either been erased off the sex offenders list or they have been bumped off.
