James Bulger’s killer Jon Venables was sent back to jail on suspicion of child porn offences, the Sunday ­Mirror can reveal.

The reason for Venables’ recall was kept secret by the Government but we can exclusively reveal that probation chiefs revoked his licence once the allegations had been made.

Venables, 27, has been in constant rehab­ili­tation for torturing James to death.

But if he has ­committed offences involving child porn while being ­supervised by probation officers the revelation will send shockwaves through the criminal justice ­system and will also raise questions about the virtually unprecedented rights and privileges he has enjoyed since he has been released.

James’s mother Denise publicly warned that Venables and Robert Thompson, both aged 10 when they murdered two-year-old James on Mersey­side in 1993, would go on to commit other offences if released.

The boys were never properly questioned about whether there was a sexual motive in the killing as they became hysterical when the subject was brought up, but police were concerned that ­sexual abuse may have been committed.

The pair were found guilty of murder in ­Nov­ember 1993 with a recommendation they serve at least eight years, which was later increased on appeal to 17 years.

It was reduced to eight by the European Court, which ruled that the two boys had suffered ­“inhuman and degrading treatment in an adult court”.

They were released under new identities in 2001. Justice Secretary Jack Straw said yesterday that the claims against ­Venables were ­“extremely serious” but refused to say what they were.

Venables is understood to have been ­masking severe psychological ­problems by ­abusing drugs and alcohol on a daily basis.

Probation officers became particularly concerned when they discovered that he was publicly ­revealing his identity.

But it was only when he was ­suspected of child porn offences that the decision was taken to jail him again.

All prisoners on licence can be recalled to prison if suspected of breaching a “good behaviour” rule.

The Sunday Mirror knows which prison Venables is being held in but cannot report it.

Mr Straw said yesterday: “I said on Wednesday that I was unable to give further details of the reasons for Jon Venables’ return to custody, because it was not in the public interest to do so.

“That view was shared by the police and the DPP. We all feared a premature disclosure of ­information would under­mine the integrity of the criminal justice process.

“Our motivation throughout has been solely to ensure that some extremely serious allegations are properly investigated and that justice is done. No one in this country would want anything other. That is what the ­authorities remain ­determined to do.”

Venables will appear before a parole board hearing within 28 days. He could also be charged with the alleged offence and face a criminal ­trial.

He should be locked up for a LONG TIME now. Something inside him obviously did not change.
