There is no room for quickies – a man has been ordered to inform the police at least 24 hours before he has sex, else he will go to jail for five years.
According to a report by BBC, the man was recently cleared of rape but with the strident condition.
The man, who is in his 40s, was only acquitted last year at a retrial.
He has now accused North Yorkshire Police of “sour grapes” in applying for a sexual risk order after the case.
The order requires him to disclose any planned sexual activity to the police or face up to five years in prison.
Sexual risk orders were introduced in England and Wales in 2015 and can be applied to any individual who the police believe poses a risk of sexual harm – even if they have never been convicted of a crime.
They are civil orders imposed by magistrates at the request of police.
The man, who said the complainant had consented to sex, was cleared of rape after being held on remand for 14 months.
His trial heard he had an interest in sado-masochistic sex.
Speaking after an adjourned hearing at York Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, he said the order had devastated his personal life and “contravened his human rights”.
