Sex offender took photos of children

PAEDOPHILE BROKE COURT ORDER AND FLEW TO TENERIFE

- By ESTHER HALLIGAN Reporter [e-mail]

A CONVICTED sex offender took photos of children around a swimming pool in Tenerife.

Ronald Barnbrook, 73, flew to the island in November last year, without letting the police know about his last minute holiday.

The paedophile lives under a court order which mean he must let the police know at least seven days before he travels anywhere.

Barnbrook was made subject to a sexual harm prevention order over eight years ago, when he was sentenced for sexually abusing children. He served three years in prison.

The parents of the children on holiday had no idea what Barnbrook had done. The pensioner's sick photos were only found after Border Force officers notified the police that he had boarded the flight out of Newcastle airport, headed for Tenerife last year.
