Preston ex-RAF air traffic worker caught out by paedophile vigilante group breaches sex order
A convicted paedophile has been found guilty of breaching a sexual harm prevention order.
Andrew Ralph Helman, 54, of Cliff Street, Preston, was found to have deleted his internet history.
The bench at Preston Magistrates’ Court imposed an £80 fine, a £30 victim surcharge and £300 costs.
The ex air traffic controller previously served a 27 month jail term after a vigilante group exposed his activities and reported him to police.
On that occasion he admitted possessing 684 indecent photographs of children, three counts of making indecent images and distributing them.
