A dangerous rapist is on the loose after taking off his GPS ankle tracker and disappearing from police monitoring.

Damien Kennedy was jailed for nine years in 2008 for rape and assault with intent to commit rape against a 49-year-old prostitute in Brisbane.

The 28-year-old was granted parole in January 2013 after completing sex offender rehabilitation programs in prison.

He was being supervised under the Dangerous Prisoners Sexual Offenders Act but could now be on the run after removing his monitor.

The heavily-tattooed criminal’s last known location was the Brisbane suburb of Salisbury at 4.13pm on Monday and police were desperately hunting for him.

Kennedy has a history of misbehaviour while on parole, repeatedly testing positive for drugs, particularly meth and marijuana.

He is on the loose in Brisbane after taking off his GPS ankle tracker and disappearing from supervised parole at his mother's house at 4.13pm on Monday

The failed drug tests put him in and out of jail until he was allowed to live with his mother in August and described as a ‘work in progress’ who was seeking help for his drug addictions.

Kennedy was described as being 171 centimetres tall, weighing 125 kilograms with fair complexion and shaven black hair.

He has numerous tattoos all over his body including ‘Southside’ across his neck, a Chinese demon on his right shin, ‘love & hate’ on his right-inner forearm, ‘RUN A’ on his right knuckle and ‘Muck’ on his left knuckle.
