Preston ex-RAF air traffic worker caught out by paedophile vigilante group breaches sex 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.
