Police are hunting for a convicted rapist after he failed to appear in the Mandurah Magistrates Court this week on fresh charges.
The West Australian reports, Nicholas Rodney Troy Faulkner, was due in court on Tuesday on seven charges, including breaching a suspended jail term and breaching a supervision order, but he did not show up.
The offences allegedly occurred in the Mandurah area between June and August this year.
A warrant has now been issued for Faulkner's arrest.
Over a decade ago, the 34-year-old was jailed for nine-and-a-half-years after raping two women near a Perth train station.
He also attacked another woman as she walked home from Glendalough Station.
Faulkner was released from prison one year early in 2019.
He was never registered as a dangerous sex offender which sparked an urgent government review.
It was later found that Faulkner did not meet the criteria as he “did not have a demonstrated pattern of sexual offending behaviour or sexual deviancy”.
