Victims of a serial sex offender are devastated he will be free in the community without supervision within days while no-one in authority has warned them.

The three-year extended supervision order against “high risk sex offender” Robi Amacha, 41, will not be renewed when it expires on December 2 despite him assaulting one woman on parole, breaching the ESO and offending 11 times in prison.

“I feel like they have thrown us out and fed us to the sharks,” one of his courageous victims, Tracy Evans, said on Monday.

“We have become the ones looking over our shoulders.”

Privately-educated Amacha was jailed for nine years for sexually assaulting Ms Evans and another woman in 2007 and inflicting actual bodily harm on one of them with intent to have sexual intercourse.

When asked how his rehabilitation had gone, Amacha told The Daily Telegraph: “I’m f**king warning you if you write anything about me. You have already f**ked up my life.”

The ESO was imposed on Amacha in 2017 on the grounds he was a high risk sex offender after he had breached parole by stalking, intimidating and assaulting a woman he had known for just three days.

When she refused to give him money, he snatched it and said “no you f**king bitch you can‘t tell me what to do … you’re a dog give me the money I don’t care about anyone I will kill you, your mum, your dad, your brother I don’t give a f**k”, a court heard.

Ms Evans, who was assaulted and sexually attacked by Amacha after meeting him in a club while celebrating a colleague’s birthday, said that no-one from Corrective Services’ Extended Supervision Order team had been in touch despite her being on the victims’ register.

She knew the date the ESO ends because she kept it in her diary but said she was disappointed no-one reached out to her.

Amacha has been living in a $380-a-week flat in Surry Hills. It is not known whether he works or who has been paying the rent. He has never told his Lebanese parents the reason he was in custody, a court was told.

“He is going to get out free to do what he likes and could even change his name without us knowing,” Ms Evans said.

When she reported the rape to police, they tracked Amacha through DNA left on items at her home and linked him to another attack on a young woman in Paddington.

His third victim said she wanted to know where he lived so she “could avoid that area”.

A Corrective Services NSW spokeswoman said that Attorney-General Mark Speakman could only apply to extend the ESO if he was satisfied to a high degree of probability that an offender posed an unacceptable risk of committing a serious offence if he is not kept under supervision.

“The welfare and safety of victims of crime is of the utmost importance for Corrective Services NSW,” the spokeswoman said.

“We provide registered victims of crime with necessary information, assistance, and support through our Victims Register.”

A spokesperson for Mr Speakman said no recommendation had been made by the High Risk Offenders Assessment Committee (HROAC) and its various subcommittees to ask the Supreme Court to extend the ESO.

“An offender’s progress and compliance while subject to an ESO is subject to a rigorous assessment throughout the period of the order,” the spokesperson said.

“A further object of the statutory scheme is to encourage high risk sex and violent offenders to undertake rehabilitation.”
