Former NSW Labor minister Milton Orkopoulos, convicted of 30 drug and child sex offences, is facing court again after allegedly breaching his parole conditions.
Orkopoulos spent 11 years behind bars before he was released from Long Bay prison in December under strict parole conditions, which included electronic monitoring to ensure he did not go near his victims.
The State Parole Authority said it would consider revoking Orkopoulos's parole after it received"a breach report from Community Corrections" on Tuesday afternoon. "As is standard procedure following a breach report, the SPA has listed the matter and will consider it at a panel meeting," an SPA spokeswoman said.
Orkopoulos met his victims through his political work, including at a Labor function and by offering work experience in his electoral office.
