A serial sex offender involved in the 1988 abduction of a young woman who was raped and murdered will have to spend another two years in jail, despite having served his prison sentence.
The man’s extensive criminal history, which began with a sex attack when he was 13, includes serving eight years for the abduction and rape of Ms Balding.
The 20-year-old bank teller was grabbed from a Sydney train station by a gang of five homeless youths before she was repeatedly raped.
The man, who was a teenager at the time, remained in the car when Ms Balding was then bound, gagged and thrown over a fence before being held underwater in a dam until she drowned.
He has committed sexual offences against woman and men, involving at least eight victims including a woman he beat, bound and raped at another Sydney train station in 1998.
The State of NSW had applied to the Supreme Court for a two-year continuing detention order (CDO) for the man whose latest jail term expired on June 26.
Since then, he has been the subject of an interim detention order.
Justice Julia Longergan on Tuesday granted the State’s application for the CDO, which will expire on September 23, 2021.
