A SEX offender who repeatedly made contact with children while on parole has been sentenced to an extra 16 months behind bars.

Jeremy Raikes, 50, from Bisley, met with children, sometimes with no-one else present and without their parents knowing of his past, a Gloucester Crown Court judge heard.

His previous offending was exposed on social media.

Raikes was jailed for 15 years in 2008 for five offences of raping a girl aged between 11 and 15.

On Tuesday he admitted breaching a sexual harm prevention order five times between August 19 last year and July 9 this year.

His lawyer Joe Maloney said his client wanted a ‘normal family life’ following his release on licence in January 2016. However, Recorder Edward Burgess QC, expressed his scepticism about Raikes’ motivations, saying he viewed him as a ‘dishonest and manipulative man’ before jailing him for 16 months.
