One of Sydney’s most notorious serial sex offenders, Graham James Kay, 66, has angrily denied claims he assaulted a 16-year-old girl at a western Sydney supermarket this week.
Kay had only been released from jail in 2015 where he served an 18 year sentence for sexually assaulting eight women at knifepoint in the 1990s.
The new allegation also comes just one month after an electronic ankle bracelet he had been ordered to wear since his release concerns over his potential to reoffend had been removed.

‘Police will allege a 16-year-old girl was working at the self-service check-out when a man called out to her for assistance,’ a NSW Police spokeswoman told Daily Mail Australia.
Kay – who had been classified as a high risk repeat sex offender – then allegedly grabbed the 16-year-old girl, of whom he had reportedly met before, by the hips and kissed her on each cheek.
He was charged with with common assault, stalking and intimidation assaulting the girl, and an AVO was sought by police to protect her.
Cumberland Police arrested Kay at his Warwick Farm workplace the following day but was released on bail.

Kay was approached as he was washing his car in the basement of his Parramatta unit block on Saturday, when he denied the allegations, the Daily Telegraph reported.
‘I’m pleading not guilty,’ he said before slamming his car door and driving off.
A Correctives Services NSW spokeswoman said Kay’s supervision and monitoring would be increased due to the recent alleged incident.
He is due to appear in Parramatta Local Court on April 24.

Known as the North Shore Rapist, Kay attacked multiple women aged between 16 and 39 in Balgowlah, Artarmon, Epping, Eastwood and Wollstonecraft between December 1995 and December 1996.
He was arrested in 1997 and served 18 years of a 20-year jail sentence.
Kay told a NSW Supreme Court hearing last year he should have his tag removed because it was awkward at the beach and he had complied with 42 conditions imposed upon his release from jail.
NSW Corrective Services officers removed his electronic ankle bracelet on March 17.
Kay’s victims have feared he will strike again since his release from prison.
‘I thought he was going to kill me. You just think it’s going on forever, it just feels like forever,’ one told A Current Affair in 2017.
‘I’m terrified that he’s going to get me again… he’s a threat to all women.’
