A MAN dubbed the ‘playboy rapist’ could be oot of jail as early as next Tuesday, two years early, with his terrified victims in shock over his release.
A MAN dubbed the ‘playboy rapist’ will walk free from jail as early as next Tuesday, two years before the end of his sentence.
Simon Monteiro, 50, was jailed in 2009 for beating and raping his former girlfriend in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, with a further 11 women coming forward alleging he abused them after he was sentenced.
Corrective Services failed a desperate bid earlier this week to the State Parole Authority to get it to revoke release order, with Commissioner Peter Severin wanting to stop Monteiro being released claiming he would “be unable to adapt to normal lawful community life.”
However the SPA chose to confirm its decision that Monteiro be released under strict supervision which includes being monitored via an electronic ankle bracelet.
Monteiro was sentenced to 12 years for bashing, raping and twice impregnating a former girlfriend over an eight-month period at an Eastern Suburbs home.
He has been slapped with the title ‘playboy rapist’ because he reportedly boasted about his modelling work and claimed to have dated Hollywood star Barbara Hershey, who starred alongside Bette Midler in Beaches.
Kay Schubach was one of the women who came forward after he was jailed, saying the pair shared a two month relationship in 2003.
She expressed her shock over his impending early release in a recent interview with A Current Affair, claiming Monteiro was a danger to society and tried to strangle her.
“My Facebook feed is full of my friends supporting me and his other victims as well,” Ms Schubach told ACA.
“ I felt that I needed to be the spokesman to let people know that he is really dangerous.
“I know the way that he behaves and he will need to find another victim really quickly as he does not know anything else. He is a parasite that needs to find a host.
“He takes advantage of high achieving women with excellent means. He will do that again.”
Corrective Services released a statement today saying they were unsuccessful in keeping Monteiro behind bars.
“At a private hearing today, the State Parole Authority maintained its earlier decision to grant parole to Simon Monteiro.
“On 9 January 2018, the SPA granted the offender parole, subject to the consideration of an updated report from Corrective Services NSW confirming his post-release arrangements. That updated report was considered today.
“Also today, the SPA considered an application from the Commissioner of Corrective Services NSW to revoke its decision to grant parole to the offender.
“On 22 January 2018, the Commissioner submitted to the SPA that the offender would be unable to adapt to normal lawful community life and should be denied release to parole at this time.
“After considering all of the material today, the SPA confirmed its decision that the offender should be released, no earlier than 30 January 2018 and no later than 6 February 2018.”
Monteiro will be required to live at an approved address and is banned from entering, Randwick City, Waverley and Woollahra where his offending took place.
He will also be monitored electronically until his full sentence expires in April 2020.
