High-risk sex offender Darren Albert Jolly has been sentenced to a further jail term for breaching an extended supervision order (ESO).
Jolly (50) has been in custody since last November, when he was arrested for breaching the 10-year ESO.
He had more than 110 previous convictions, including sex with underage girls, indecent sex acts, fraud, theft, assault and dangerous driving.
He was for sentence yesterday before Judge Michael Crosbie in the Dunedin District Court.
Jolly, who initially denied the offending, last month admitted breaching the ESO on November 2 and November 24 by being in possession of an internet-capable smartphone.
Judge Crosbie sentenced Jolly to 20 months' jail - 10 months on each charge - to be served cumulatively.
The defendant had breached the order 14 times previously, and had an "appalling prior history'' of offending, the judge said.
The conditions were in place because he was considered a high risk to the public and they must be strictly enforced.
Judge Crosbie said he did not need to impose special conditions, because the ESO, imposed in 2011, remained in place.
Jolly was last released from jail on October 21 to live in Dunedin. Earlier last year he was jailed for breaching his supervision order by cutting off his GPS monitoring bracelet and leaving Dunedin without permission.
The ESO contains 13 special release conditions, including a ban on having computers or devices with internet access, going near schools, parks and playgrounds, a strict overnight curfew, and GPS monitoring.
