A SEX offender is facing a further stint in prison after admitting breaching a restrictive order placed on him following a previous prosecution.

But a recent partner of Gordon Ross Taylor may also be jailed after admitting “aiding and abetting” him to breach a sexual offences prevention order.

The order, imposed at Mold Crown Court, in north Wales, in April 2011, forbade him from trying to communicate, contact or be in the presence of any child under 16, with whom he was not related.

Appearing via video link to Durham Crown Court from the nearby prison, 33-year-old Taylor, of Milbank Terrace, Station Town, east Durham, today (Tuesday January 6) admitted eight counts of breaching the order, on dates between January 2013 and August last year.

He was said to have been in the presence of, or communicated with four different children between the ages of two and 15, during that period.

Annette Jean Jones, 27, of the same address, who is of previous good character, admitted a single charge of aiding and abetting the breach.

Sentence on both was adjourned pending preparation of background reports by the Probation Service.

Remanding Taylor back to custody and Jones on bail, Judge Christopher Prince warned them to expect prison sentences on their return on January 30.
