Offender urged to stop ‘fighting’ supervision order
A judge has advised convicted child sex offender Allen Malsen to stop “fighting” his extended supervision order as she jailed him for another 18 months for four more breaches of the order.
Christchurch District Court Judge Jane Farish urged 30-year-old Malsen to change his attitude to the order so that he stopped breaching it.
“My concern in relation to you is that you have fought your way through this ESO for some time. What I am trying to instill upon you is that it is designed to assist and protect you.
“It is not designed to punish you,” she said after Malsen accepted a sentencing indication given last week, and waived his right to a pre-sentence report so that sentencing could go ahead straight away.
He had accepted last week that he was going back to prison for the latest breaches. He now has eight breaches on his record. The earlier offences have brought prison and community detention sentences.
Malsen, previously known as Alan Gilbert Wilson, was jailed in 2000 on 22 sex charges involving four children.
After his release from prison he was subject to an extended supervision order but has repeatedly breached its terms.
The latest breaches include fixing a computer modem, possession of a computer, and issues with his employment at the South Island Wine and Food Festival in 2013.
Judge Farish said she was most concerned about a breach involving Malsen having contact with the children of a flatmate, who was a father of three.
The court was earlier told that the flatmate had discovered his offending history on social media.
Judge Farish said the offending had put Malsen directly at risk, and also put at risk the young people who were visiting the house.
