Portadown Man's SOPO Breach Case Deferred for Factual Resolution
A man from Portadown faces charges of breaching a Sexual Offences Prevention Order. The case appeared before the court in Armagh.
The court deferred the proceedings to consider a Newton hearing. This step arises when a guilty plea exists but prosecution and defence disagree on offence facts.
No resolution occurred during the initial hearing. Discussions on the need for the hearing remain pending.
