October 2014 Cleethorpes sex offender back in court after release from prison A SEX offender failed to tell police of his whereabouts in defiance of regulations after his release from prison, a court heard. Gary Tombs, 35, of Sandringham Road, Cleethorpes, admitted two offences of breaching his registration requirements. Carl Fitch, prosecuting, told Grimsby Crown Court that Tombs had been jailed for two-and-a-half years in January 2012 for sexually assaulting boys under 13. He was released in May last year but failed to notify to police proper details of where he was living in July and August this year. Andrew Bailey, mitigating, said Tombs had been trying to obtain work and had sought help from voluntary units. Tombs was given a one-year supervision order.
