A master's student has been released from jail after he admitted breaching child sex offender register requirements by repeatedly visiting a Canberra pool without telling police.
Benjamin Hugh Smith, 38, spent about four-and-a-half months behind bars on remand after being accused of grooming two boys in the Australian Institute of Sport aquatic centre's showers.
The two child grooming charges were dropped in the ACT Magistrates Court on Wednesday, as was an allegation that Smith had provided police with a false name or address.
