The man convicted of murdering schoolgirl Sarah Payne was found with pictures of her in his cell, it has been revealed.
Roy Whiting, 51, had newspaper and magazine cuttings about the eight-year-old and other young girls in his cell at Wakefield Prison in West Yorkshire.
The items were discovered during a routine search and detailed in a prison report seen by the Sunday Mirror.
The newspaper quoted the 2009 report as saying: "It is of serious concern that the security information indicates hidden newspaper cuttings of Mr Whiting's victim and young girls were discovered during a cell search.
"It appears that his interest in young girls continues to be evident within the prison environment."
Sarah's mum Sara Payne, 40, has said she felt "anger and dismay" when told what Whiting had been doing.
"This is extremely unfortunate and gives me the creeps," she told the News of the World.
"We live in an age where material like this is easily available and the Prison Service can only do its best to try and restrict it."
She added: "Collecting newspaper clippings is, I am sure, Roy Whiting and other paedophiles' way of trying to intimidate the families of their victims."
Sarah vanished while playing with her brothers and sister in a field near her grandparents' house in Littlehampton, West Sussex.
Search teams looked for 16 days before her body was found 12 miles away.
After Whiting was convicted, it emerged he had kidnapped and sexually assaulted a nine-year-old girl five years earlier.
A Prison Service spokeswoman said: "We don't comment on individual cases.
"Where inappropriate materials are found in prisoners' cells they are immediately removed and the prisoner may be subject to disciplinary proceedings."
