Rashid Harif, 24, of Friary Road in Peckham, is said to have a history of drug-related convictions as well as being in the company of young girls who are under the influence of drugs and alcohol.
As a result of concerns about child sexual exploitation, he was made the subject of a slavery and trafficking risk order (STRO) in July 2021.
But on September 5 last year police officers in Peterborough stopped a car which pulled out in front of them and smelt strongly of cannabis.
The car was stopped and Harif was one of four occupants who was searched.
Fifteen “deal bags” of cannabis was uncovered and all four men were arrested.
Harif was also in possession of a mobile phone which was not registered with the police.
This was a direct breach of the STRO.
In custody he gave officers an address he was staying at, which was later confirmed to not be his home address, therefore another breach of the court order.
On Monday (February 24) he appeared at Peterborough Crown Court where he was sentenced to two years and three months in prison after previously pleading guilty to being in possession of cannabis and two counts of breaching a STRO.
Detective Constable Kyle Miskin, who investigated, said: “Harif has a history of drug-related convictions, as well as being in the company of teenage girls who have been found under the influence of drugs and alcohol.
“Having the slavery and trafficking risk order in place gives us additional powers to ensure safeguarding is in place, however Harif has proved he is not able to stick to the conditions of his order, with six convictions for breaching it in 2022.
“The court agreed Harif poses a significant risk to vulnerable people, in particular young females, which is reflected in the sentence.”
