July 2002 Beast finally locked away A FREED child-sex beast who made a beeline for two young boys has been sent to a mental hospital — indefinitely. Evil Carl Lundbech, 67, was seen approaching the youngsters just hours after leaving jail. Days later the persistent paedophile, who has spent 40of the past 45 years behind bars, was spotted going into a TOYSHOP. The monster was ordered to be held under sections 37 and 41 of the Mental Health Act — meaning only the Home Secretary can sanction his release. The ruling at Isleworth Crown Court, West London, came after a judge heard that JPs in Lundbech’s home city of Cardiff had banned him from going near kids. That order was still in force when he left Wandsworth Jail in South London. He had been sentenced to 18 months for repeatedly breaking it. Amazingly, because of time he served on remand, Lundbech was eligible for release after just two weeks. The latest arrest led to the pervert being held in a mental hospital — but he STILL managed to target youngsters. Isleworth court heard that on a visit to the dentist he tried to accost two girls of four in the waiting room. Judge Sam Katkhuda said it was only thanks to the JPs’ old ban on Lundbech approaching children that he was stopped. He said: “If the police officers were not there, who knows what would have happened?” October 2000 ‘High risk’ paedophile back in prison A high risk paedophile has been sent to prison after violating a sex offender order. Carl Michael Lundbech, 65, was given an 18-month sentence by a judge at Middlesex Guildhall Crown Court after he was found guilty of eight counts of breaching the order to keep away from children. But having served half of the sentence already waiting on remand, he could be free again with weeks, the court was told. Unemployed Lundbech approached two schools in Cardiff on his release from prison and later gained access to a youngster’s birthday party at a McDonald’s restaurant in London. Judge Henry Blacksall said he knew Lundbech was “unable to control himself”. A convicted paedophile ordered not to speak to children on his release from prison approached two primary schools in Cardiff, a court was told. Lundbech was considered a high risk offender and placed under round-the-clock surveillance. The breaches are said to have taken place between 20-22 January in Cardiff and at Acton, West London, where it is alleged he spoke to children at a party in a McDonalds restaurant. Giving evidence in his defence, Lundbech described how on getting out of Cardiff Prison, he had tried to seek out his brother in the Ely district of the city. The order had prohibited him from going within 50 metres of a school, but he had been spotted by a surveillance squad of police near two schools, Herbert Thompson Junior School, in Ely, and the Windsor Clive Junior School. He was also said to have approached children on two occasions at McDonald’s in Acton High Street. London. Lundbech admitted speaking to the mother of a four-year-old in the restaurant but never to the child, although he had asked the child’s age. “I don’t know why, it was just one of those things. I can’t remember.” He denied a further charge of making a second visit to McDonald’s later on 22 January and speaking to children at a party being held there, saying he was never there. At Middlesex Guildhall Crown Court, Lundbech gave evidence that he had been spotted in the streets of Cardiff and west London within days of being released from jail and was taunted by members of the public. Cross examined by Brian Warner, prosecuting, Lundbech said he had slept rough in Acton after failing to find his old friends or obtain any accommodation. “I was in a very morbid condition.” I kept my distance at all times,” he said and denied telling the police that he was glad when he was finally arrested.
