Convicted paedophile and former NSW Labor Minister Milton Orkopoulos has had his parole revoked.
The 62-year-old was arrested at his home at Malabar, in Sydney's east, last week and charged with three counts of failing to comply with his reporting obligations.
The State Parole Authority (SPA) today said it revoked Orkopoulos's parole order on the basis he had breached two conditions of his parole; that he must not commit any offences and must comply with all conditions of the Child Protection Register (CPR).
The decision was made during a closed meeting of the SPA this afternoon.
Orkopoulos has been in custody since last week when he was refused bail after facing court on three counts of failing to comply with his reporting conditions.
The former minister was also arrested last month over two alleged breaches of parole.
Police allege he had failed to report changes to his personal information, as required by his parole conditions.
Orkopoulos's lawyer told Waverley Local Court in January that the alleged breaches related to a conversation he had with his granddaughter and an Instagram account that had been set up in his name.
The account was declared to police on January 8 but it was created three days prior.
Orkopoulos was released from Long Bay prison on parole in December after serving 11 years behind bars.
He was convicted of 30 drug and child sex offences in 2008 after it was revealed he had been raping minors.
He was ordered to wear an electronic monitoring bracelet and was banned from approaching his victims.
