Sex offender has been fined for failing to tell police when he leaves the country.
Property investor John Charles Currell, 46, must give seven days’ notice before he goes abroad.
But Cardiff Magistrates’ Court heard he jetted off to Palma, Mallorca, on three occasions without a word to police that he was leaving the country.
Currell, of Portland Place, Lisvane, Cardiff, was jailed for 12 months in December 2004 after he was convicted at the city’s Crown Court of indecently assaulting a 16-year-old girl.
He was placed on the sex offenders’ registers for 10 years, meaning he must tell police if he changes address or leaves the country.
