My husband had his preliminary hearing today. He's to sign in at the police station once a week for the next 6 weeks until he goes back to court. He's to also register his phone and bank card with them. I have no idea what any of this means to be honest.

Has he entered a guilty plea during his court appearance? If so his attendance at the police station and registering phone and cards will likely be part of his sex offender register notification requirements.

Was he told he needed to attend the police station within three days of court?

Only other possibility I can think is that it's a requirement of his court bail if he hasn't been convicted yet.

Hi

yeah he had to attend within 3 days. He went today and done what was needed. They never said he had to attend once a week though (his lawyer said it was once a week). So not sure what happens now?

Is he on the SOR? It sounds like conditions of being on SOR. I would expect things to be explained to you properly though.

hiya

yeah i think that's what it is. He's been told it's only for 6 week? Not sure if that will be extended at the next court date. He's at sheriff court again in 6 weeks
