A man has been banned from having s*x without giving at least 24 hours notice to the police 24 hours despite being cleared of rape.
Talking about the ban, the man has admitted that: "It puts an end to your life".
According to Mirror Online, the single man, in his 40s, admitted to previously having an interest in sado-masochistic s*x and used to visit a Fifty Shades of Grey-style fetish club with an ex-partner.
He also said he used to go on Tinder and "played around".
But the man, a father, denied having any criminal convictions, "not even a parking ticket", when he spoke to reporters following an adjourned hearing at York Magistrates' Court.
He accused North Yorkshire Police of "sour grapes" in applying for a S*xual Risk Order (SRO) after he was acquitted of r*pe.
He was cleared at a retrial, having spent 14 months on remand.
The terms of the SRO, currently an interim order which the police will apply to be made permanent at a hearing in August, has a list of conditions attached.
Among them is the requirement for him to inform police 24 hours before he has s*x with a new partner.
The effect has been to devastate his personal life, he said, and contravened his human rights.
He said: "It puts an end to your life. I had more freedom in prison.
"The severity of the restrictions exceed what convicted criminals would get on a Sexual Offence Prevention Order."
According to him, there was "no prospect" of a relationship at the moment.
He said: "Can you imagine, 24 hours before s*x? Come on."
He gave the example of chatting to a woman and saying: "There's a nice French restaurant I'd like to take you to, but first the police are just going to come around for a little chat."
He said the disclosure process to a potential partner would be "horrendous", saying: "Knock, knock, knock, this is the police, (Mr X) is subject to a S*xual Risk Order and is considered to be potentially dangerous ... Then they leave."
The man, who cannot be identified by the media, said the SRO was made after he was cleared of raping a woman - different from the one with whom he visited the fetish club.
He said the jury at the retrial took an hour and six minutes to unanimously clear him.
He had been accused of biting and scratching the complainant, but he said the scratching came during a massage, "post-coitally", and there was no biting.
