Authorities are investigating a man who was recently released from custody between sentencing for several child rape convictions, due to allegations that he reached out to one of his victims.
The alleged contact occurred after the man’s release from an Adelaide prison on Monday, following completion of his sentence for prior offences.
He was subsequently permitted to travel unaccompanied to Canberra, where he is scheduled to be sentenced next week for the abuse of Mike Worsman.
“It’s an absolute breach of trust for victims that this person is able to contact me,” Worsman said.
The alleged contact is a potential breach of an intervention order imposed in South Australia.
Worsman fears for his family’s safety, saying “this is a monster who is trying to intimidate and reap fear into my family”.
Worsman made the police report at a city station to protect his family’s location. He fears his abuser may attempt to make contact in person.
South Australian Police have confirmed they are investigating the potential breach, which could result in the man’s bail being revoked.
“He deserves to be behind bars,” Worsman said.
