His lawyer had told the court the alleged breaches related to a conversation he had with his granddaughter and an Instagram account set up in his own name.

He was released from Long Bay prison in December after serving 11 years behind bars.

He was ordered to wear an electronic monitoring bracelet and was banned from approaching his victims.
