North Shore rapist Graham Kay sentenced to four months jail

NOTORIOUS North Shore rapist Graham Kay will be jailed until August after he was sentenced for failing to disclose an intimate relationship with a prostitute.

SYDNEY’S notorious North Shore rapist will be behind bars until August after he was sentenced to four months jail for failing to disclose an intimate relationship with a prostitute.

Graham James Kay, 66, pleaded guilty to breaching his extended supervision order last week – more than 40 strict monitoring conditions put in place because he poses an unacceptable risk to the community.

The serial rapist was released from prison in 2015 after serving 18 years for sexually assaulting several women at knifepoint on Sydney’s North Shore in 90s.

Today Magistrate Gary Still sentenced him to four months behind bars for the breach, starting on April 21 when he was arrested and expiring on August 20.

The maximum sentence could have been two years.

In handing down his sentence Magistrate Still said Kay was “clearly aware” of the strenuous conditions placed upon him.

“Clearly he knew what he was doing was wrong and a breach of his order,” he said.

A supervising officer doing a check on Kay’s home on April 7 found the prostitute inside Kay’s bedroom at 11pm.

The discovery came less than a month after Kay was allowed to have his electronic monitoring bracelet removed.

Court documents said Kay, had tried to hide the fact the 27-year-old was inside his home obstructing the doorway to his bedroom and telling the officer: “No one is in here. OK. Good?”

The sex worker, whom Kay found on a website and had previously visited at a brothel, was unaware of Kay’s offending history, court documents said.

Kay had bought the sex worker flowers on April 7, taken her to a restaurant for a meal before taking the woman back to his house to stay for the evening.

“I was paying (her) $350 per hour this evening,” he said in an affidavit.

“This was not the first time I had paid (her) to spend time with me.”

The Crown had submitted that Kay knew “intimate details” about the sex worker’s life and had her personal mobile number after meeting her just once before April 7.

This included that she was from the Philippines, what course she was studying at university and that she had separated from her partner recently.

Magistrate Still took into account Kay’s guilty plea but did not find “remorse or contrition” in it.

He said there was a need to deter Kay from breaching his order and to protect the community.

Two of Kay’s victims from the 1990’s, Juanita and Angela, sat in court as the sentence was handed down.

“I’m relieved he got some sentence, I’m relieved he is behind bars for four months,” Juanita said.

Angela said he should always be required to wear an electronic monitoring bracelet when he is out of jail.

“He is a threat. We don’t want any future victims,” she said.

The serial sex attacker said in an affidavit tendered to the court that he contacted the sex worker as a way to “reintegrate back into the community”.

“I contacted her as a way to take action on the advice that my ESO team and my psychologist had given me and to attempt to re-integrate back into the community,” his affidavit stated.

Kay has previously told the court about how he felt a “connection” with the sex worker after only meeting her for the second time.

“It wasn’t just a physical connection, it was the communication and association, being able to go out to dinner with a female that wasn’t necessarily a relative and being to have a normal meal,” Kay said.

“I said that there seemed to be a connection between myself and this lady as far as communication and I was using that as a stepping stone to reintegrate.”

Kay says in his affidavit he has been on “limited association” while in custody since April 21, meaning he is separated from the general population and only associates with a small group of inmates.

“Despite my classification in limited association I have still been threatened and I am still fearful for my safety,” he said in his affidavit.

He said that whilst in Amber Laurel Correctional Centre he was called a rapist by several inmates on April 23.

“I was also told that I should be bashed. This was on the same date I was pictured on the front cover of a newspaper,” the affidavit said.

“The verbal threats have occurred as recently as 14 May 2018 when... two men approached me from behind and told me “all rapists should be bashed”.”

Kay will next front court in June fighting seperate charges after he allegedly kissed a 16-year-old girl on the cheek and touched her hip in a supermarket.
