A NORTH Yorkshire man with a decades long history of sex offences has been jailed after being caught printing porn at Boots.
It was a staff member at the Guisborough Boots who found the 71-year-old printing the pornographic images of young men and alerted police.

A sexual harm prevention order bans Robin Jackson from accessing pornographic material.
It follows previous convictions for exposure, indecent images and sexual assault, Teesside Live reports.
The pensioner has been jailed for eight months for breaching the order that is meant to restrict his behaviour and protect the public.
Prosecutor Reece Williams told the court: “The defendant on August 26, 2025, had entered Boots in Guisborough to print off pornographic images of young men.
“On the same day, police were notified by a member of staff from Boots.”
When police attended his home the accused handed over the images that showed young men.
The court heard that those pictured were of legal age.
Jackson’s mobile phone was also analysed.
On the device police reportedly found that he had accessed several pornographic websites.
Michele Turner, mitigating for the defendant, said the accused fully cooperated with the officers who attended his home.
“He immediately handed over all items and allowed for his mobile phone to be examined immediately,” she said.
Jackson appeared for sentencing at the Teesside Crown Court via video link from prison on September 24.
He had pleaded guilty at a lower court and been behind bars for four weeks.
The court heard that he has more than 70 previous offences on his record.
The allegations span from as far back as the 1970s.
Teesside Live previously reported that Jackson had breached sexual offence prevention orders that had been in place for more than a decade.
During the coronavirus lockdown he turned himself in to his supervising officer and admitted to visiting porn sites.
At the time in 2020, the court heard Jackson had asked for videos of males performing sex acts and offered to pay money for the material.
In that instance Judge Howard Crowson told the court: “You have a long history of sexual offending and you clearly pose a significant risk to young males.”
