Brian Conroy has been sent back to jail.
A registered sex offender who was sending dirty texts to a mentally ill neighbour has been given an 11-month jail term.
Brian William Conroy had been out in the community after being released after a three-year nine-month jail term imposed in 2012.
He was registered under the Sex Offenders Act and has been under an extended supervision order since 2009 for touching young girls.
Part of the restrictions include not to have any Internet capable devices.
On Tuesday Wellington District Court judge John Walker said a police search warrant in July found old laptops and cellphones.
