A man has been handed a suspended prison sentence after leaving a piece of paper "asking for relationships" in a public place.
Lee Davidoff, 55, of Southcote Road, Reading, was sentenced to six months in prison, suspended for 12 months, at Worthing Magistrates' Court.
The court heard how he left contact details, along with a request for relationships, on a piece of paper at a public location in Littlehampton on September 5, 2024.
This action breached the sexual harm prevention order imposed on him by Lewes Crown Court on September 1, 2021.
He was ordered to pay a £154 victim surcharge and £650 in Crown Prosecution Service costs, with an application made for deductions from his benefit.
The verdict was proved in his absence.

The court stated the reason for the six months suspended sentence was the seriousness of the offence, his previous convictions, and the high risk of reoffending.
However, the sentence was suspended due to Davidoff now living in sheltered housing with protective factors in place.
The court ordered him to comply with the requirements within the 12-month supervision period, including attending appointments and participating in activities as required by the responsible officer, for up to 20 days.
