A dangerous sex offender has breached a condition of his supervision order while helping a mother search for her two children.
Patrick Alfred Dennis Comeagain, 41, was released from prison in June last year with strict conditions including a curfew and no contact with children.
He pleaded guilty in Perth Magistrates Court on Wednesday to breaching the terms of his release when he was approached by a woman at a shopping centre who sought his help to find her children.
The court heard that Comeagain, who now goes by a different name, told security officers that he was listed as a dangerous sex offender.
Comeagain has spent most of his adult life behind bars and has a long criminal record that includes five offences against a nine-year-old girl in 1994 and the sexual assault of women.
