Mohammed Shazed Yaseen must sign the sex offenders register for life and is banned from Wakefield city centre through a criminal behaviour order (CBO).
He was jailed for 52 weeks in December for exposing himself on Kirkgate, and after being released at the mandatory half-way stage in June, was moved into the Citilodge Hotel on Lower Warrengate, Leeds Crown Court was told.

He told them he had no fixed address, prosecutor Nathan Davis said.
Then on the evening of June 16 this year, Yaseen was spotted by two PCSOs in Wakefield city centre drinking alcohol from an open container, putting him in breach of his CBO.
He was arrested and interviewed where he admitted the breach, saying he was an alcoholic, but claimed he thought his CBO had expired.

Appearing in court via video link from HMP Leeds, where he was being held on remand, he admitted breaching the CBO, and the terms of his licence by failing to inform of a change of address.
Mitigating, Anthony Sugare said that Yaseen became confused over his address and despite admitting the breach, claimed it was an honest mistake.
Judge Tom Bayliss QC jailed him for four months and said: "They were both deliberate breaches but in each case no significant harm was done.
"The aggravating feature here is your record."
Yaseen's record of indecent exposure dates back to 2004.

Yaseen was captured on CCTV urinating against the Northgate building, and then started to perform a solo sex act in full view of three horrified members of the public.
He was jailed for 16 months on that occasion.
