A SERIAL sex attacker who terrorised women across Sydney’s northern suburbs in the 90s has denied claims he randomly kissed a teenage girl in a supermarket.
Graham James Kay, 66, was released from jail in 2015 after serving an 18 year sentence for sexually assaulting several women, including some at knifepoint.
Wary about his potential to reoffend, the NSW Supreme Court granted an extended supervision order (ESO) to keep Kay monitored in the community.
The order subjects Kay to 40-odd stringent conditions, including that he provide a schedule of his day to day activities, who he lives with and keep to a night curfew.
Kay found himself in trouble again this week after he was charged with assaulting a 16-year-old girl and an AVO was sought by police to protect her.
Police will allege Kay approached the girl, who he had met before, in a Woolworths supermarket in western Sydney, placed his arm around her and kissed her on the cheek.
He was arrested at his Warwick Farm workplace on Wednesday and charged with common assault and stalk and intimidate.
He was granted police bail with no reporting conditions, only that he stay away from the victim.
However, police yesterday charged Kay with breaching his extended supervision order on three occasions.
Officers from the State Crime Command Extended Supervision Team attended a Parramatta home about 8pm last night.
Kay was arrested and taken to Granville Police Station where he was later charged with breach of extended supervision order.
He has been refused bail to appear at Parramatta Bail Court today.
Before his arrest last night Kay denied the allegations while washing his car in the basement of his Parramatta unit block.
“I’m pleading not guilty,” he said before slamming the car door and speeding out of the driveway.
While offenders subject to an ESO can be charged with breaching the order, there was no specific condition relating to Kay’s alleged behaviour, such as not approaching the victim, that could have warranted that charge.
A Correctives Services NSW spokeswoman said Kay’s monitoring would be increased.
“Following this recent alleged incident, supervision and monitoring of the offender has been increased,” she said.
“This has been in collaboration with NSW Police.”
