SHAKEN victims of North Shore rapist Graham Kay today braced themselves to face their attacker for the first time in 20 years as he pleaded not guilty to an alleged attack on a 16-year-old supermarket checkout girl.

Mother of two Juanita, 45, and Angela, gripped each other’s hands sitting in the front row of the public gallery of Parramatta Local Court room 1.1 hoping to look Kay, 66, in the eye.

The former graphic designer did not show in court this morning as his lawyer pleaded not guilty on his behalf to charges of common assault and stalk/intimate the teenager.

The case will resume this afternoon when Kay will face three charges of breaching his strict extended supervision order.

He is back in custody after police arrested him for allegedly failing to disclose an intimate relationship with a prostitute.

“I didn’t sleep last night knowing I would come face-to-face with the man that robbed me of my life but I plucked up the courage, I want to draw a line under what happened to me,” Juanita, 45, told the Daily Telegraph.

“Waiting for him to show is torture — I was prepared to look him straight in the eyes, to see that hard face, I’ll never forget it.”

She added:” I found out on Sunday he was back behind bars and it felt like I could breathe again.”

Administrator Juanita, dragged and raped at knifepoint in a tunnel by Kay in 1996, attended court with her mother Ned, and fellow victim Angela, to hear the 66-year-old answer the unrelated charges.

Kay served 18 years for executing eight horrifying attacks between 1995 and 96 and was released on parole in 2015 with an electronic monitoring tag.

The ankle bracelet was removed in March this year.

Victim Angela said: ”Where is he? I want to see that man. I remember what he looks like and sometimes think I see his face in the street.”

Both his victims have added their voices to calls to tighten the state’s prisoner release system triggered by Kay’s latest charges.

Attorney-General Mark Speakman blames the courts for not agreeing government demands that Kay should have been tagged for three years and that the ESO system works.

Shadow Attorney-General Paul Lynch says the current situations makes a “mockery” of his claims.
