The convicted rapist dubbed the Beast of Blenheim will be subject to a 10-year extended supervision order once his parole conditions end after release from prison, a judge has decided.
Stewart Murray Wilson, who was jailed for 21 years in 1996 for sexual offending against women and girls, is due to be released from prison on September 1.
The 65-year-old, who was sentenced before preventive detention laws were introduced, must be released despite being assessed as being at a high risk of reoffending.
The Corrections Department pressed for an extended supervision order for Wilson, to apply for 10 years from September 1, 2015, in the High Court at Christchurch.
At the hearing clinical psychologist Jane Freeman-Brown supported the extended supervision order, saying Wilson, who continues to deny his offending, is at high-risk of reoffending.
Justice Graham Lang today issued his reserved decision which will see Wilson monitored closely once his parole conditions end.
In imposing the maximum term available for the order, Justice Lang said he agreed with Dr Freeman-Brown's assessment that Wilson was likely to be at risk of reoffending against young women.
"Mr Wilson's previous offending demonstrates that he has ingrained psychopathic traits and a continued tendency to act in a sexually deviant manner.
"I agree that he presents as a rare and special case ... he will remain at risk of offending against young females well beyond the expiry of his release conditions," Justice Lang said.
Wilson will have a Parole Board hearing next month to set out the conditions he must adhere to upon release.
