Vic: Rapist will allow authorities to supervise him, court

A court has been told that a notorious child rapist known as Mr BALDY will agree to
authorities monitoring him for the next 15 years.

Fifty-eight-year-old BRIAN KEITH JONES, who's appeared in the Victorian County Court
via video link, was released from Ararat Prison last month.

He's been placed under parole provisions that Corrections Commissioner KELVIN ANDERSON
has labelled the most stringent ever set in the state.

JONES has been electronically tagged and is subject to a curfew, a ban on contact with
children and residence conditions.

PETER FARIS, QC, applied for a 15-year extended supervision order to come into force
after JONES' parole expires later this month.

Senior public defender CARMEN RANDAZZO, SC, has told the court JONES doesn't object
to the application.

JONES was jailed in 1981 for kidnapping boys, shaving their heads, dressing them in
girls' clothing and sexually assaulting them.

After his release, he attacked again and in 1992 was given a 14-year sentence for raping
a nine-year-old boy and sexually assaulting the boy's six-year-old brother.

Chief Judge Michael Rozenes is expected to hand down his decision on the application
later this week.
