A woman who was raped at knife point in a tunnel by a serial sex offender fears he will strike again after his electronic tag is removed.
Graham Kay, 66, was released on parole in early 2015 after serving 18 years of a 20-year jail term for assaulting eight women, including an underage teenage girl, during the mid-1990s on Sydney’s north shore.
After complying with his strict parole conditions, Corrective Services officers in New South Wales have decided to remove his electronic ankle bracelet on March 17.

One of his victims fears he will strike again – 22 years after dreading she would be killed as the predator dragged her into a tunnel at knife point and raped her.
‘I’m still terrified, you learn to live with the horror of what happened, it never leaves you,’ she told The Daily Telegraph.
‘When he dragged me into a tunnel and pushed the knife hard into my throat, tied me up gagged me and raped me I thought I was going to die.
‘It’s my greatest fear that he will pursue woman again as he has no remorse.
‘I don’t believe he is rehabilitated.’
The woman has written to the state’s Attorney-General Mark Speakman pleading with him to stop the tag being removed on Saturday next week.

‘I urge you to not stop monitoring Graham James Kay for the safety of the community,’ she said in a letter to the Liberal MP.
Kay told a NSW Supreme Court hearing last year he should have his tag removed because it was awkward at the beach.
He had also complied with 42 conditions imposed upon his release from jail in February 2015.
However, forensic psychiatrist Dr Anthony Samuels said he met the criteria of ‘sexual sadism’ and was ‘vulnerable to relapse’.

When Kay was sentenced in 2000, Justice Robert Shallcross Hulme said his attacks were ‘premeditated and planned’.
The assaults took place in Balgowlah, Artarmon, Epping, Eastwood and Wollstonecraft on women aged between 16 and 39 between December 1995 and December 1996.
The sick acts involved him grabbing the women from behind and holding a knife to their necks.
Kay, a former Rural Fire Service volunteer who worked as a graphic artist, was stopped by police in 1997 as he drove around looking for women and following them in Macquarie Park, Glebe and Epping.
