He also appeared in court in 2011, 2017 and 2018 for breaching court orders.
Emma Nash, prosecuting, said Starck was subject to monitoring by police because of his history of sex offending and in December 2019 during a routine visit a conversation of a sexual nature with a teenager was found on his phone.
When his phone was analysed it was found to contain 16 images in the most serious level A category, 18 in category B and 15 in the lowest level C category.
All the images related to boys aged between nine and 15 and there was evidence of him deliberately searching for the images, said Miss Nash.
