A ROBBER who lured a man back to his home for a drink forced him to strip and stole his property.
The victim was forced to flee in his boxer shorts and ran to the neighbouring properties to ask them to contact the police.
Convicted sex offender Jamie Plaxton, 24, was in the city centre in the early hours of July 4 when he met his 19-year-old victim, who was trying to hail a taxi.
Plaxton invited him back for a drink to a house in Vane Street, west Hull, and once inside he pulled off his victim's clothes and told him "shut up or I will stab you".
Plaxton took the clothes into the kitchen. When his victim plucked up the courage to follow him, he discovered Plaxton and three others rifling through his pockets.
They again threatened to stab the victim, who grabbed his trousers and ran.
Hull Crown Court heard Plaxton stole the man's iPhone, £45 in cash, his wallet and driving licence.
Plaxton was in breach of the sex offenders register requirements.
He sexually assaulted a woman while he was drunk in a pub in July last year.
He was placed on the sex offenders register for seven years and is required to notify the police of any change in his address within three days.
Detectives went to the address he had given in June and discovered he had not lived there for months.
He was then caught a month later following the robbery.
Plaxton, of Appleton Road, Hull, pleaded guilty to robbery and failing to comply with the notification requirements of the sex offenders register.
His barrister, John Thackray, said: "He has demonstrated genuine remorse. It was an unpleasant offence and has some aggravating features."
Plaxton, who became one of the first people in the country to be given an antisocial behaviour order in relation to the rising problem of metal theft, has been jailed for two years.
Judge Simon Jack told him: "I have to deal with you for a robbery and for failing to comply with the sex offender notification requirements. You have a bad record but nothing for robbery or failing to comply. You do have a conviction for violence but the robbery is definitely a step up as far as you are concerned.
"This was a nasty offence, it must have been very unpleasant for the complainant not knowing what was going to happen to him or if he was going to be subjected to real violence in line with the threats you made. I take the view that is a very serious offence."
