One of the city’s most notorious rapists convinced a court to keep his name secret - even while he attacked a woman in the heart of Sydney.
The State deleted a requirement for Kay to adhere to a schedule of movement.Suppressions kept details about Kay’s 2022 attack and his 2023 release secret.One of Sydney’s most notorious rapists – who attacked eight women and girls in the 1990s – stalked a young woman home from Sydney’s CBD and indecently assaulted her in 2022 after the state removed an important restriction designed to keep him on a short leash.
“Rapist dog” had been scrawled on Kay’s car and neighbours had left notes saying “the north shore rapist lives in apartment X” the last time he resurfaced in the press. Since his parole in 2015, the State of NSW has taken out a series of Extended Supervision Orders designed to keep a close eye on Kay.
Authorities then discovered Kay had been hiring a sex worker and bringing her alone to his home, in breach of his ESO. He spent four months in prison and was released.First, the State of NSW watered it down. Authorities would no longer force Kay to provide a schedule of his movements to supervisors.Second, Justice Stephen Rothman suppressed Kay’s name after concluding negative press was preventing him from reintegrating into society.
