Jacky Jhaj, 38, has been arrested on suspicion of breaching a sexual harm prevention order after he was accused of attending a casting session with children where he videoed and photographed them.
WHAT HAPPENED?
The paedophile actor was pictured with a large group of children gathered around him and a £3.2million Bugatti Chiron outside dance school The Hub Studios in east London, where he is said to have got them to cheer for him as he gave them golden envelopes and even a necklace.
Parents had been notified of the chance for their children to audition for a high-profile feature film early that morning through their acting agencies, with as many as 50 arriving at 11am to learn a dance routine from a noted LA choreographer.
Meanwhile, the parents were asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement.
At 12.45, the children were then asked to leave the studio for the last stage of the audition, which would take place on the street outside.
There, they were asked to gather around Jhaj, who gave a speech to the camera while children cheered around him. He then proceeded to give out golden envelopes to the group, with one girl getting a necklace.
WHY HE WAS CONVICTED
Just last month Jhaj appeared in court as he was accused of breaching court orders imposed after he was jailed in 2016 for having sexual activity with two 15-year-olds.
It came after he was filmed in October last year with as many as 200 children and young women playing his fans as he hosted a fake movie premiere at Leicester Square, in London.

As many of the parents at the London dancing school recognised him, the police were soon called. When they arrived, Jhaj had left the scene.
POLICE CAUGHT HIM
The Met Police said: ‘Police were called at 13:05hrs on Saturday, 22 June, to Hague Street E2.
‘A number of people reported that they had attended a casting session with their children and were concerned by a man there who had taken videos and pictures of the children without their consent before leaving in a car.
‘A man was arrested on 23 June on suspicion of breaching a sexual harm prevention order. He remains in police custody.’
The Hub Studios, the choreographer and the cameraman were not aware of the nature of the session.
