A serial child sex offender has been jailed again after he breached the terms of his licence just two months after being freed.
Former football coach Kane Hutchison, nicknamed the ‘Beast of Bensham’, was released from jail in December after he was jailed in four years in 2015 for targeting two teenage boys online and trying to coax them into sexual activity.
Hutchison, from Gateshead and was 25 when he was first jailed, was in custody when he stood trial after being sentenced to three years for sexually assaulting a 13-year-old boy he had offered to take to a football match.
He was released on licence under a strict set of conditions until April 2019, when his sentence is due to end, but is now back in custody.
The Probation Service told the family of one of his victims: ‘The offender was re-released from prison and was being supervised on licence until the end of his sentence. I am writing to inform you he has been recalled to prison again for breaching one of the conditions of his licence.’
The father of one of the victims said he was ‘disgusted’ by the breach of licence and revealed he was none the wiser as to how the ‘monster’ sex offender had broken the terms of his release.
He said: ‘I don’t know what the breach is. But I am disgusted. He should be locked away forever. He’s a total monster and a disgusting child abuser.’
Hutchison’s case is set to be re-accessed by the parole board. The family were informed the sexual deviant will remain behind bars until his case is reviewed either by the Parole Board or the Public Protection Caseworker Section on behalf of the Secretary of State.
He could be made to serve the remainder of his sentence in prison, but if it is decided he will not breach the condition of his licence again, he could be let out again and ‘managed safely in the community’.
In August 2014, he was jailed for three years for sexually assaulting a 13-year-old boy after offering to take him to watch a football match.
He invited a youngster to attend an away match between Gateshead and Macclesfield and asked him to stay at his house so they could get an ‘early start.’
Hutchison forced the boy to share a bed and then molested him. The boy told his mother and he was arrested, hiding in the loft, and prosecuted.
The first victim knew Hutchison played for a football club in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, and was looking into joining the same club.

He lied about his age and started asking the youngster to meet him, offering him £20 to do so. He also sent him intimate pictures of himself on Facebook and Snapchat and encouraged him to do the same.
At his 2015 trial, Newcastle Crown Court heard how the coach had exploited victims’ love of football to get them to share intimate images with him.
Jailing him for four years for the latest offences, Judge John Evans said: ‘You secured their interest in making contact with you by cultivating their interest in football and your interest in football.
‘Reading the reports, it’s evident you still are in some difficulty coming to terms with not only your sexuality, which you revealed at the trial, but more particularly in relation to what is undoubtedly an unhealthy interest in adolescent boys.’
Former associates claimed Hutchison had exaggerated links to Tyneside’s notorious soccer ‘firms’ to groom youngsters. He remains subject to a 10-year sexual offences prevention order, and has signed the sex offenders register. The Probation Service was contacted but did not wish to comment.
