A shocked mum found out her new partner was a paedophile after she googled his name.
The pair met while playing online games and later went on family days out, including picnics, with her children.
But after carrying out checks online the "gutted" mum discovered Robert Wynn, 30, had been jailed three times for sex offences.
Now he has been jailed again for breaching on order banning him from being in contact with children under 16.
Hull crown court heard the mum knew Wynn as "Robster", and their online relationship "blossomed" after he described himself as a “normal lad from Hull.”
Phillip Evans, prosecuting told the court this attracted the mum because she lived in the city as a teenager.
She agreed to meet Wynn at a railway station which was "successful" and she invited him back for tea.
Wynn gave his real name and age but made no mention of his paedophile past.
The nine offences on his record were all sex crimes, and included grooming and distributing indecent photographs, which saw him jailed for 18 months at a Scottish court in 2008.
Wynn was jailed for two years at Hull in 2011 for making and possessing indecent photographs of children, possessing extreme pornography, and failing to comply with his notification requirements as a sex offender.
He was made subject to a sexual offences prevention order for ten years, which he breached in 2014, earning another 16 weeks in prison.

The order bars Wynn from being in contact with children under 16, without the informed consent of a parent or guardian.
But despite this restriction, Wynn was soon taking part in family outings with his new partner, including picnics in a park, visits to the cinema, and a day at a museum.
Mr Evans said the mother was "keen to point out that the children only became involved when she was ready to introduce them to the defendant.
"She had no cause for concern".
The woman said she was "gutted", but found out who she had been dating when she searched for him on Google.
Mr Evans said: "She points out that she had never allowed the defendant to have unsupervised contact with the children.
"She has questioned her children and no disclosures have been made by any of them of improper conduct by the defendant towards them."

Despite this, the woman described herself as "angry, upset and horrified" by the revelation.
Police investigated – and found 30 indecent photographs of children on Wynn's mobile phone.
Wynn, of Sutton Park, admitted possessing indecent photographs of children and breaching a sexual harm prevention order.
David Godfrey, for Wynn, said he accepted he should have declared his convictions, and informed his probation officer of the relationship.
"At some point the penny's going to have to drop," said Mr Godfrey.
"He's not an unintelligent man, he's an articulate man."
Wynn was jailed for 16 months by Recorder Timothy Roberts QC.
