when he was arrested again and recalled to prison after a project worker in Bri- erfield, where the internet cafe was, alert ed police.

Beverley Lunt as “cunning” after she said the level of determination he used to ac cess the pictures was a great concern, as he knew the SOPO was meant to stop him. Wilkinson, of Bedford Street, Barrow
ford, was put on the sex offenders register again. Judge Lunt made a new and indefinite
SOPO banning the defendant from own ing, possessing or using a computer or mo bile telephone with internet access, except for controlled use in a working environ ment with the knowledge of the police. He was also banned from working with chil dren for life.
