A child sex offender found himself in court after making 40 trips to Liverpool to visit a woman.
Calum Teeson, who had a conviction for possessing indecent images of children, made up to 40 trips through the Mersey tunnel to the city to stay with a friend.
The 26-year-old pleaded guilty to failing to comply with notification requirements at Mold Crown Court, on December 23.

Teeson had received an eight-month jail term, suspended for two years, for making indecent images of children back in August, North Wales Live reports.
But police checked with Mersey Tunnel staff and found he then visited Liverpool 30 to 40 times between August and November 2021.
His notification requirements of his conviction were breached as his trips were over a period of more than seven days.
Prosecutor Dafydd Roberts said Teeson told police he had a friend in Liverpool who did not know about the conviction and he did not want to lose that friendship.
Teeson, of Bryn Eithin, Pentre Halkyn, appeared in court via video link from HMP Berwyn.
He told the judge: "I accept I have made a very stupid mistake, and being in here has made me realise that more, by being deceiving to the (police) officers that were in charge of myself."
He said that if he is released he still has a job open to him, adding: "I would like to do everything I can to fix this."
The judge today jailed him for six weeks but he was released due to time served.
He said: "The reason I have imposed a custodial sentence is because this was a deliberate and arrogant breach."
He said police officers had texted him to remind him of his obligations.
The judge warned the defendant that he must keep to the terms of his original suspended sentence, including doing unpaid work and observing the notification requirements, or he will face custody.
