Double killer Colin Pitchfork, 62, was arrested and recalled to prison last November for approaching young women.
He had been released two months earlier after spending 33 years in jail for raping and murdering two teenage girls in the 1980s.
He is understood to have approached young women last autumn while out on walks from his bail hostel.
The mother of Baby P, Tracey Connelly, 40, was released on licence in 2013 but was recalled to prison just two years later for breaching her parole conditions.

She is understood to have been released again this year, despite a government challenge.
