The country's most prolific stalker is back behind bars, having tasted only six days of freedom.
The 46-year-old - who the Herald has chosen not to name to protect potential fair-trial rights - is currently in custody and due to appear in Waitakere District Court today facing allegations he harassed another woman and breached three of his release conditions.
Over 27 years of offending, the man has racked up more than 200 convictions, many of which were due to him lavishing unwanted attention on a slew of women.
When the defendant was released from jail in 2014, he lasted just 12 days before police found him with some unsent letters, one of which was addressed to a former Miss New Zealand.
He was eventually jailed and Judge Gus Andree-Wiltens ordered his address book and phone be destroyed.
