A north-east paedophile is back behind bars after being found with child pornography on a mobile phone he was banned from owning.
Cameron Anderson was placed on the sex offenders register for taking part in a series of sexually explicit conversations with a schoolgirl using an instant messaging service in 2008.
And, the following year, he was back in trouble when he manipulated an 11-year-old boy into exposing himself online.
On that occasion, he was banned from owning a mobile or computer.

The 34-year-old was finally jailed in 2014 for a string of offences against boys under 16 and for possessing 996 indecent images of children and 738 pornographic videos.
After being released, he was seen by police officers in Inverurie on June 23 this year and he told them he was on his way to see them to alert them to a new bank account.
While he was in the police station, officers noted he was wearing headphones and a closer inspection revealed they were coming out of a mobile telephone.
He was arrested and a later search of his home on School Road in Kintore found an Amazon Firestick which he was also banned from possessing.
An inspection of his phone also revealed indecent images of children were on it.
He told officers he had been in possession of the phone for six months and the Firestick for four months.
Anderson, of HMP Grampian, confessed to the offences during an appearance in Aberdeen Sheriff Court yesterday.
Fiscal depute Jamie Dunbar told the court: “There were 15 indecent images of children found, with seven category A (the most serious), two category B and six category C.”
Representing him, defence agent Peter Shepherd, revealed his client had been taken back to prison to serve an unexpired portion of his sentence and could not be released before March 2022.
He added that the 34-year-old cooperated fully with the police.
Sheriff Jack Brown jailed him for a year and placed him on the sex offenders register for ten years.
