    John O'Neill, from York, had been given a Sexual Risk Order (SRO) for an indefinite length of time, which had several conditions attached to it.

    North Yorkshire Police applied for the ban to be reduced to two years, to allow the court to be able to review it to see if it should be continued.

    A judge at York Crown Court set the order to end on 22 September 2018.

    The ruling was made on 21 December last year.

    The SRO requires Mr O'Neill to disclose any planned sexual activity to the police or face up to five years in prison.
