A serial child sex offender who preyed on young boys will live in the community under a supervision order, a court has ruled.
Brisbane Supreme Court Justice Martin Daubney yesterday ordered Ashley Taylor be subject to a 20 year, 37 point supervision order under the Dangerous Prisoners (Sexual Offenders) Act.
The order bans Taylor banned from attending schools at times when students might be travelling.
He is also forbidden from having contact with boys under 16 without prior approval from a corrective services officer.
If granted permission, Taylor will be obliged to disclose his past offending to the parent or caregiver.
Taylor was jailed in August 2002 for six years for a number of sexual offences against 22 victims aged between 12 and 15.
Taylor met each new victim through a fish and chip shop he had bought in 1997.
The victims were either employees or customers.
Taylor would groom his victims by making drugs available, showing them pornography, and establishing physical closeness with them until he could sexually assault them.
