McLean, from Perth, admitted possessing indecent images of children between July 2010 and March 2011. The orders were granted after a court heard he had convictions for sexual crimes dating back more than 20 years.
McLean was jailed for 27 months following his latest crimes. The web ban was part of a Sexual Offences Prevention Order (Sopo), designed to protect the public from "the risk of serious sexual harm".
The Sopo states: "You will neither own, possess, use, nor have access to, any computing equipment including - for the avoidance of doubt - any mobile telephone capable of accessing the internet."

he'll be using kids instead...
Yes, that crossed my mind as well, Kolymatram.
You will neither own, possess, use, nor have access to, any computing equipment including - for the avoidance of doubt - any mobile telephone capable of accessing the internet.
Unless he's in prison, within a few years, that's going to be a very difficult restriction to enforce as more and more devices become internet-connected.
Given that many bank accounts are online or telephone-only, government agencies are putting more and more online etc. it's going to prove very difficult for him to survive in the modern world.
The more difficult life is for him, the better. Preying on children is a heinous crime.
