A CHILD sex pervert has been rapped after failing to keep police informed of his whereabouts for a second time.

Convicted paedophile Anthony Kirkbright, 41, from Nelson, is barred from every camp site and caravan park in the country, under the terms of a sexual offences prevention order, issued three years ago.

But twice now he has failed to notify police of his current address - and he was hauled before Burnley magistrates by East Lancashire police's public protection unit.

Jobless Kirkbright, of Extwistle Street, who also uses the name Anthony Stock, admitted failing to comply with his sex offenders' order.

Magistrates conditionally discharged him for six months and also ordered him to pay £60 costs.

The court heard that he is supposed to register his address annually with police but failed to comply this year.

When he was questioned by police he claimed he normally received a reminder and had forgotten.

Magistrates told him his conduct had been negligent and that he had made an error.

In January 2001 he had been convicted of sexual intercourse with a girl under 16 and had been given his first sex offenders' order.

He was given a second order which banned him from every caravan site in the country in June 2006.

The court was told, when that order was made, that he had tried to lure a 10-year-old girl to a caravan he was using in the Lancaster area, offering her sweets and threatening her with violence.

Kirkbright also has two convictions for detaining children without authority.

Neil Cronin, defending, said the order had worked for Kirkbright. The defendant, who lived with his partner, had been classed as having a mental impairment.
