A sex offender landed himself back in prison after police made a surprise visit to his home. Ian Beeby previously served time behind bars for sexual offences against young boys.

Following the 71-year-old's release, he was subject to monitoring under a Sexual Health Prevention Order (SPHO), Greater Manchester Police said.

This regular monitoring is put in place to prevent and deter further offending.

Earlier this year, officers conducted a home visit after concerns that Beeby was in breach of his order.

In July 2025, he was arrested at home following concerns from the National Probation Service that he had engaged in conversation with male children who were filming themselves for a YouTube channel in Manchester city centre .
