Sheriff Neil Wilson said Booth had committed acts of human trafficking and exploitation over many years.

He described the evidence which had been presented in court as “utterly harrowing”.

“The graphic video footage, combined with the context and background provided by supporting documentary evidence in various forms, was redolent of a level of cruelty and depravity which, whilst extreme, one can only hope is rare,” he said.

In addition to the travel ban, he ordered that Booth must notify police in advance of hiring any woman as a housekeeper or to any other role at his home.

Booth had been charged with assaulting children in his care at a school in 1991 and left the UK in an attempt to evade justice, but later returned.

In 1994 he was convicted after a trial at Newcastle Crown Court of five charges of assaulting children and a further charge of failing to surrender to bail.

He was sentenced to three months’ imprisonment, suspended for two years.

In 2002, Booth was convicted following a trial at Bradford Crown Court of indecently assaulting his Brazilian au pair and was sentenced to two years in jail.
