Twisted Gareth Bullock, 40, is banned by a court order from having any contact with male children after being caught with a stash of vile indecent images, reports the Liverpool Echo.
After officers found the two teens in the early hours of the morning, Bullock attempted to feign ignorance.
Liverpool Crown Court heard today, Monday August 14, that the PCs responding to a 999 call attended his flat on Radstock Road in Kensington at around 4.15am on July 15 this year.
The prosecutor, Shannon Stewart, described how Bullock answered the door and claimed he was alone in the property.
However, after officers were allowed inside, they discovered a 14-year-old boy "hiding down the side of his bed".
Another 13-year-old boy was then found by the officers "hidden outside", standing on the narrow window ledge of the third-floor unit.
Ms Stewart said that the teen had been "at great risk of danger", given his precarious position.
Bullock "claimed to be unaware they were in his flat".
The predator was previously banned from having unsupervised contact with boys under the age of 16 under the terms of a lifelong sexual harm prevention order he was slapped with at Preston Crown Court in August 2013, having been convicted of making and possessing indecent images.
Bullock's only other criminal conviction came in February of this year, when he was given a community order for breaching his SHPO.
This also followed a police visit to the complex where Bullock lived and they found same 14-year-old teen in a communal area at this time and reported he had been in the defendant's flat.
