Sex offender with Rotherham links wanted for breach of court order

Steven Hobson (29) was placed on the Sex Offenders' Register for ten years in 2017 after being jailed for making and distributing indecent images of children.

Hobson is required to regularly update his address with police but now failed to register an address since January 2022.

A police spokesperson said: "Extensive enquiries have been made to locate Hobson but despite speaking to him, he has failed to provide us with his current location."

Hobson is described as white, of a medium build and around 5ft 5ins tall.

His last known address was in Sheffield but he also has links to Rotherham, Lincolnshire and Lancashire.

If you see him, do not approach him but instead call 999. If you have any other information that could assist our search, call 101 quoting crime reference number 14/16360/22.
