DIDCOT: A convicted rapist who was banned from the town and admitted breaching a restraining order has been jailed for 12 months.
Paul McLaughlin, 51, formerly of Kynaston Road, Didcot, and now of Clarks Row, Oxford, was made subject to the order on July 2 last year after he admitted causing criminal damage to a house in Ridgeway Road, Didcot.
He was banned from contacting the occupant or visiting the road for 12 months but was spotted on the doorstep by police officers on May 12 this year.
McLaughlin was also found in possession of a small amount of cannabis, making him in breach of a conditional discharge.
He was sentenced during a hearing at Oxford Crown Court yesterday.
