A convicted sex offender has been sent back to jail after he was caught buying a DVD of naked boys on the internet.
Disgraced youth worker Stephen Holderness was banned from accessing child images on the web but was found with more than 1,000 on his computer.
Holderness moved to Devon from Kent after being released from a jail sentence for abusing boys of nine and ten during a trip to Denmark.
He had previously been a youth leader at Beaminster in Dorset, where a safeguarding inquiry was started after he was jailed in 2004.
He is a registered sex offender whose use of the internet is restricted by an order made by the judge when he was jailed for four years and classified as a dangerous offender at Maidstone Crown Court.
He was caught after he bought a DVD containing illegal and indecent images of children and detectives traced the order to his home in Devon.
Holderness, aged 56, of Highfield Crescent, Paignton, admitted eight offences of possessing indecent images and was jailed for two years by Judge Phillip Wassall at Exeter Crown Court.
The judge told him:"You were convicted of a contact offence ten years or so ago against male children, at which time similar images were found on your computer.
"Your offending behaviour is so serious in the light of your previous convictions that only an immediate sentence will suffice.
"In effect, in that case the Judge indicated you posed a risk of causing serious harm and here you are, ten years on, committing similar sorts of offences."
The Judge also made a Sexual Offences Prevention Order which restricts Holderness' contact with children in the future and allows the police to monitor his internet use.
Mr Richard Crabb, prosecuting, said Holderness came the attention of the police after ordering a DVD containing 300 images of children.
An examination of his computer showed he had 2,050 images of children including 53 at the highest category, showing them being sexually abused by adults.
Mr Kevin Hopper, defending, said Holderness is the sole carer for his wife, who has suffered serious illness in the recent past, and who would suffer if he were sent straight to jail.
