A MAN has pleaded guilty to breaching the conditions of a court order aimed at reducing his access to vulnerable women.

Abdul Zahedi, 63, of Alfriston Close in Brighton, was given a sexual risk order in July which imposed a number of conditions aimed at protecting members of the public from sexual harm.

One of the conditions forbade Zahedian from contacting or communicating with any female identified as vulnerable by a statutory agency, without the express approval of social services or a police officer.

However, on September 22, police received a report of Zahedian speaking to and engaging with a vulnerable woman at a bus stop in Oriental Place in Brighton.

He was arrested shortly after and charged with breaching his sexual risk order.

At Brighton Magistrates’ Court on September 29, Zahedian pleaded guilty and was released with strict additional conditions.

He will be sentenced on October 19.

The conditions of Zahedian’s two-year sexual risk order prohibit him from approaching or having any contact or communication with one specific woman, driving a vehicle unless he informs police of the make, model and registration, inviting any vulnerable woman into a vehicle he is driving, and communicating in a sexual manner with vulnerable women not involved with him in a professional, vocational or educational capacity.
