Convicted paedophile Robert Liddle has withdrawn his appeal against a three month jail sentence handed to him three weeks ago.
Liddle 69, of Moorlough Road, Drumgoole, Lisnaskea was led off to prison after he appeared at the Criminal Appeals Court sitting at Enniskillen Courthouse last Monday, where his defence barrister Heather Phillips said that Liddle was withdrawing his appeal.
At a previous sitting of Fermanagh Magistrates Court, Liddle had pleaded guilty to breaching his Sexual Offences Prevention Order (SOPO) by being in Dunnes Stores, Enniskillen between 4pm and 4.16pm in February 2017.
He is not allowed to be in a shopping centre between the hours of 7am-10am and 3pm-5pm.
He was sentenced to three months in prison and later released on his own bail of £500 pending an appeal.
Speaking on Monday, His Honour Judge Neil Rafferty QC said Liddle had received “very good advice” and confirmed his three-month sentence.
