Repeat child sex offender sent back to prison for committing yet more offences involving indecent images of children.

A 35-year-old man, Jamie Lee Tye, has been jailed for 5 years and 6 months after committing further sexual offenses against children.

Tye, of Normandy Road in Louth, was charged with two counts of breaching his Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO), three counts of creating indecent images of children, and one count of possessing indecent images of children. These offenses took place between April and October 2021, while he was on licence.

Detectives from the Paedophile Online Investigation Team (POLIT) received intelligence indicating that Tye had committed further offenses involving indecent images of children.

Following several inquiries, a warrant was executed on 13 October 2021, and Tye was arrested for making indecent images of children and for breaching the order. He was subsequently recalled to prison to complete the rest of his sentence.

Investigations continued while Tye was still serving his sentence, and upon his release on Friday 14 October this year, detectives re-arrested him. He was remanded in court on Saturday 16 October and returned to prison.

Detective Sergeant Sam Ward from POLIT commented: "Teamwork was paramount to the success of this operation in keeping a dangerous offender off our streets. I'd like to give thanks to my team of dedicated officers for their hard work in securing this conviction."

Detective Constable Laura Gavin, who led the investigation, added: "Lincolnshire Police is committed to keeping children safe from harm and we will robustly pursue anyone who is suspected of this type of offense."
