Graham James Kay was released on parole in 2023 after serving two decades behind bars for sexually-motivated attacks, including on eight women in Sydney's north during the 1990s.
Dubbed the "North Shore Rapist", Kay was released for those crimes in 2015 but sent back to jail for stalking and intimidating a woman in Sydney's city centre in 2022.
During a brief NSW Supreme Court hearing on Thursday, Justice Hament Dhanji ordered Kay be subject to an extended supervision order for three years for the protection of the community.
The orders can be imposed by the court on convicted criminals whose sentence has expired but are still deemed to present an unacceptable risk of serious reoffending, necessitating long-term monitoring.
In August, Kay lost a legal bid to keep his identity secret despite the 72-year-old arguing he feared for his safety.
In rejecting the serial rapist's plea, Justice Sarah McNaughton found it was likely in the interest of community safety for Kay's name to be made public.
The victim of one of Kay's 1990s attacks told the court doing so would give others the opportunity to protect themselves as she could not when she feared she was going to die at his hands.
Following his first release from jail, Kay was again sentenced in April 2018 to four months after breaching his supervision orders for failing to disclose an intimate relationship.
Four days prior to that sentence commencing, Kay assaulted a 16-year-old girl who was working at a supermarket, for which he received a 15-month conditional release order.
When the girl approached Kay, ostensibly to help him operate a self-serve checkout, he grabbed her hip and kissed her on the cheek, causing her to recoil from him.
The teen would later describe the kiss as "slobbery" and say she was disgusted and very frightened, having been aware of his previous crimes due to media reports.
His actions during the 2022 offence, in which Kay pursued a woman for several hours before sexually assaulting her, were described by a magistrate as like "a predator on the hunt".
