Request

Request
I wondered if you could direct me please to the relevant source/information as to the number of arrests and convictions in respect of offences under Article 64A?

Clarification request:
To enable the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) to meet your request could you please provide further clarification on the timeframe your request relates to.

Clarification received:
1. In terms of time frame, I am seeking to understand the volume of offences under Article 64A of the Sexual Offences (Northern Ireland) Order 2008, per year, since the period it was introduced (June 2015) to present.
2. Is it possible to have it broken down into arrests and convictions for the purchase of sexual services, and arrests and convictions for human trafficking for sexual exploitation please?
