A PAEDOPHILE previously jailed for grooming a vulnerable boy has been hauled back to court for breaching the terms of his sex offender register requirements.
The conditions were imposed on Terence Grant-Hanlon after her sexually assaulted the child in the 1990s.

The court heard from Joseph Kindley, prosecuting the case, how this breach occurred in Warrington on November 2.
Grant-Hanlon failed without reasonable excuse to comply with his notification requirements in that he failed to notify Cheshire Police of his current home address.
Then on November 7, he Obstructed a Cheshire Police officer constable in the execution of his duty.
The defendant was ordered to sign the sex offender register for life when he was jailed for 11 years at Liverpool Crown Court in May 2015.
The paedophile was found guilty of molesting the child when he was aged between 11 and 14 in the 1990s.
Grant-Hanlon, who was found guilty of 12 counts of sexual offences including indecent assault, exploited the child by giving him ‘lots of attention, sweets and presents’.
The defendant, of Suez Street in Warrington town centre, pleaded guilty to the two counts he faced before magistrates in Warrington.
As a result, he was sentenced to a 12-month community order, including 25 rehabilitation activity requirement days.
He was also fined £50 and ordered to pay both costs to the Crown Prosecution Service of £120 and a surcharge to fund victim services of £114.
