A TEENAGER who breached a sexual harm order by downloading a slew of social media apps on his phone has been sentenced.

Ewan Sturrock appeared before Colchester Magistrates’ Court on Thursday after he admitted nine breaches of a sexual harm order which was imposed last year.

Sturrock, of Berriman Close, Colchester, downloaded Instagram, Tiktok, YouTube, Telegram, Discord, Wizz, WhatsApp, Google Hangouts, and Snapchat on his phone.

Magistrates sentenced Sturrock, 19, to an 18-month community order which required him to carry out 30 rehabilitation requirement days and 180 hours of unpaid work.
