A paedophile who was sent to prison four years ago has been jailed again.

William 'Billy' Nutt, of Black Eagle Drive, Northfleet, near Gravesend, was sentenced to nine months imprisonment for sexual offences, in London.

The 59-year-old was charged by Metropolitan Police in February for attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child and breaching a Sexual Harm Prevention Order.

Nutt, a singer who once supported Shirley Bassey, appeared at Woolwich Crown Court on Monday June 10, where he was due to face trial.

The former landlord, who had pubs in Folkestone and Canterbury, changed his plea from not guilty to guilty and was sentenced on the day.

He received six months in prison for attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child and three months for breaching his Sexual Harm Prevention Order.

In 2015, Nutt, who grew up in Temple Hill, Dartford, was jailed for four years for sexually assaulting a four-year-old boy.
