Mr Cornwall, whose sexual offending dates back 40 years, served 14 years in jail over sex attacks on four girls, one as young as 13, at knifepoint.

Only hours after his release in 2007, he was back behind bars after he breached his parole conditions and was spotted within metres of children at a Wollongong beach.

The new images show Mr Cornwall wearing a black Everlast hooded jumper, dark long pants and white running shoes while carrying a dark backpack and sleeping bag.

He is described as being of caucasian appearance, with a fair complexion and grey hair.

He is known to frequent Campbelltown and Eagle Vale.

Police are appealing to anyone who may have seen Mr Cornwall to come forward by contacting Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Anyone who sights Mr Cornwall is urged not to approach him and contact triple-0 (000) immediately.
