'Drill rapper' who followed two 16-year-old girls calling them 'fat tramps' is banned from approaching women FOR LIFE

• Andrew Achomna, 25, who has never been convicted of a sexual offence, has been banned from approaching women he does not know.
• Parents photographed him loitering outside a Cleckheaton school, and he is now banned from going within 100 yards of one.
• Police representative Andrew Garthwaite told him he 'cannot stop following women' and posed a 'clear sexual risk'.

A West Yorkshire man has been slapped with an indefinite court order banning him from approaching, following, or engaging with any woman he does not know in public, after magistrates heard evidence of a persistent pattern of predatory behaviour towards women and girls.

Andrew Achomna, 25, from Cleckheaton, was served with a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) at Kirklees Magistrates Court on 3 November, according to a West Yorkshire Police press release.

The order has no end date.

The hearing followed two alarming incidents.

In May, Achomna — who was already subject to a Community Protection Notice — trailed two 16-year-old girls across a park in Heckmondwike, addressing them as "fat tramps."

In July, concerned parents photographed him loitering outside a school in Cleckheaton.

Achomna was defiant throughout the hearing.

He sat with his fingers in his ears and insisted the allegations were "all made up."

Police representative Andrew Garthwaite addressed him directly, telling him he "cannot stop following women" and posed a "clear sexual risk to women because of your actions."

Magistrates heard evidence of repeated sexually motivated and intrusive conduct directed at women and girls in public spaces — described by the court as a persistent pattern of such behaviour — despite the fact that Achomna carries no convictions for any sexual offence, according to the West Yorkshire Police press release.

The terms of the order are sweeping.

The order bars Achomna from going near, tracking, making contact with, talking to, or having any form of interaction with women he does not know in public spaces, with limited exceptions covering unavoidable routine encounters and situations where he is a customer in a retail or leisure setting.

He is also prohibited from taking any woman who is not a family relation into his home, a hotel, or any private space he controls, unless she has first been informed of the grounds on which the order was issued, its terms, and its duration.

Geographically, Achomna is banned from entering Huddersfield town centre — bounded by Queensgate, Castlegate and Kirkgate — and Dewsbury town centre, bounded by Aldams Road, Vicarage Road, Rishworth Road and Wakefield Road, except when passing through by train or bus, or to attend an appointment.

He must also stay more than 100 yards from any school or college, and cannot wear a balaclava in any public place.

Breaching the order is a criminal offence carrying a maximum sentence of five years in prison.

Sergeant Kirstie Broderick of Kirklees Police welcomed the ruling.

"A Sexual Harm Prevention Order is a preventative measure designed to protect women and girls from harm," she said.

"The order will significantly restrict his engagement with others and provides police with additional powers to manage him."

Broderick added that West Yorkshire Police will "continue to take robust action to safeguard women and girls, support victims, and pursue every available legal measure to prevent harm and protect our communities."
