A convicted rapist who attacked three women near Perth train stations over a decade ago has been arrested - at a train station.
Nicholas Rodney Troy Faulkner was taken into custody at the Glendalough Train Station on Saturday night.
A warrant was issued for his arrest on Tuesday after he failed to appear in the Mandurah Magistrates Court on seven new charges.
They include breaching a supervision order and breaching a suspended jail term.
The offences allegedly occurred in the Mandurah area, the suburb where Faulkner lives, between June and August this year.
He will appear in the Perth Magistrates Court on Sunday.
The 34-year-old was jailed for nine-and-a-half-years for raping two women near a Perth train station over a decade ago.
He also attacked another woman as she walked home from Glendalough Station.
Faulkner was released from prison one year early in 2019.
He was never registered as a dangerous sex offender which sparked an urgent government review.
It was later found that Faulkner did not meet the criteria as he “did not have a demonstrated pattern of sexual offending behaviour or sexual deviancy”.
