Notorious sex predator Robert John Fardon is back behind bars after he was arrested for breaching his bail conditions.
Queensland Corrective Services announced the arrest on Tuesday afternoon after an alleged breach of a supervision order issued under the Dangerous Prisoner (Sexual Offenders) Act.
"He is in custody and the matter will be listed for an initial hearing in the Supreme Court at a date to be determined," QCS said in a statement.
Fardon was released under a strict supervision order following a ruling by Supreme Court Justice Debra Mullins in February last year.
He was released on February 14 – Valentine's Day – under 34 conditions, including having to undergo electronic monitoring and abide by a curfew, and abstain from drugs and alcohol.
The Newman government this year conceded defeat in its bid to keep Fardon behind bars.
