A 42-year-old man jailed for sexually grooming teenage girls has been remanded in custody after allegedly breaching his post-release conditions for a fourth time.
In the Masterton District Court, Judge Arthur Tompkins remanded Stephen George Rainham, formerly of Hawke's Bay, in custody for a judge alone defended hearing to be heard on September 3.
Rainham is not to have access to a cellphone capable of internet access and Community Corrections alleged he had breached this condition.
In November 2009, Rainham was jailed for two years and eight months on grooming offences, including having unlawful sexual connection with a girl aged between 12 and 16.
Released from jail two years later, he was subject to an extended supervision order. On May 2, this year, the extended supervision order was renewed by the Napier District Court for another five years.
