A pervert is back behind bars after he was caught a second time trying to groom schoolgirls on the internet.

Michael Butler, 33, fell for a sting staged by online paedophile hunters known as Dark Justice.

It comes three years after he tried to meet 11-year-olds for sex only to find he had actually been talking to undercover police officers.

Butler admitted attempting to meet a child following sexual grooming, failing to comply with notification requirements, and three charges of breaching a sexual offences prevention order.

Butler was jailed at Burnley Crown Court in 2014 for exposing himself over a webcam and arranging a meeting in Blackpool.
Mr Cleasby added: ‘It is to be hoped that during this new and longer sentence, there will be sufficient time for this defendant to work with the authorities to minimise the risk he appears to pose.’
