Brave victims of the ‘North Shore Rapist’ Graham Kay head to court to look serial sex attacker in eye

TWO victims of Graham Kay will today come face-to-face for the first time with the serial rapist who brutally attacked them 20 years ago. The women will attend court where Kay will appear to answer an unrelated charge involving a teenage girl.

TRAUMATISED victims of Graham Kay will today come face-to-face with the man who raped and brutally attacked them for the first time in 20 years.

Juanita and Angela, both attacked at knifepoint in 1996, will attend court where the man dubbed the North Shore Rapist will appear to answer an unrelated charge over an incident in which police allege he grabbed and kissed a 16-year-old at a Sydney Woolworths last week.

The new charges against Kay has led to a renewed political fight over the adequacy of the state’s prisoner release system.

Kay, 66, is due to appear at Parramatta Local Court and is expected to make a bail application after he was charged with common assault and stalking and intimidating.

“I’m so scared but I’m going to look at that man — he raped me and gave me a life sentence,” Juanita, raped at knifepoint by Kay in 1996, said. “I warned the Attorney-General Mark Speakman.”

Another victim, who asked to be known only as Angela, pleaded for the state to act.

Kay is back behind bars after allegedly being in an undisclosed relationship with a prostitute in violation of strict court-ordered conditions of freedom.

He served 18 years for the horrifying attacks and was released on parole in 2015, with an electronic monitoring tag. But the e-tag was taken off on March 14 this year.

Police claim both the alleged new assault and the relationship with the prostitute incidents happened a month after Kay’s tag was removed.

Mr Speakman blames the courts for not agreeing government’s demands that Kay ­be electronic monitored for three years insisting the ESO system “aggressively works”.

Shadow Attorney-General Paul Lynch said: “This situation makes a mockery of his claims. The Attorney-General needs to explain why there wasn’t an appeal last year against electronic monitoring only continuing for 12 months. He should be showing considerably more sympathy to the … victims.”
