A sex offender has appeared in court dressed as a Christmas elf and admitted breaching an order by kissing children.
As Verainer – who was addressed as she throughout the 15-minute hearing – walked into court, together with a helper, bells jangled from the costume.
At an earlier hearing – appearing in pigtails and sucking a dummy – Verainer had denied the charges.
In November 2016 Verainer was given a ticking off from a judge – after sitting in the dock during a case hugging a large doll.
On that occasion Verainer, asking to be called Jorven Seren and claiming to identify as a five-year-old girl, was jailed for 15 months for kissing a girl outside a cafe in Thanet.
