Overview

  • Dana Mustapha admitted breaching a sexual harm prevention order at Liverpool Crown Court and received a 12‑month sentence, with the order in force until August 2029.
  • Prosecutors said his court‑ordered GPS ankle tag repeatedly ran out of charge despite demonstrations on how to keep it powered.
  • An offender manager reported he was dismissive during contacts on June 13 and 14, including stating, "It's not a big deal. It doesn't matter."
  • He had been released from HMP Altcourse on June 12 and was taken to the Room at the Inn homeless shelter in Warrington, where monitoring problems began immediately.
  • The court noted this was his second SHPO breach after a similar failure in September 2024, and reported that he was unrepresented, declined mitigation, and has a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia.
