A 61-year-old man has pleaded guilty to multiple sexual assaults on women in Sydney during the early 1990s after police made a breakthrough in a three-decade-old cold case.<\/p>\n
Glenn Gary Cameron was arrested at Sydney International Airport last February after detectives reviewed the unsolved cases using modern DNA and fingerprint technologies.<\/p>\n
Cameron has now admitted to more than a dozen charges, including 11 counts of aggravated sexual assault using a weapon as a threat, for attacks on eight women between 1991 and 1993.<\/p>\n
Dubbed Sydney’s “Night Stalker” and the “Moore Park Rapist” in news reports at the time, Cameron is due to be sentenced next month.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
After his arrest at the airport last year, Cameron’s identity was suppressed due to a reporting ban. It was lifted three months later. <\/p>\n
Of the 36 offences he has been charged with, he pleaded guilty to 13 on Tuesday, when he appeared in Downing Centre Local Court in Sydney via a video link. <\/p>\n
Nine charges were withdrawn and the remaining 14 charges will be taken into account when he is sentenced, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). <\/p>\n
The latter include multiple charges of indecent assault, aggravated sexual assault and detaining a person for advantage.<\/p>\n
One of the women attacked by Cameron decades ago dialled into court proceedings, the ABC reported. <\/p>\n
A 1993 article in the Sydney Morning Herald (SMH) newspaper, which closely covered the spate of attacks, reported that the victims were mainly Asian women, aged 17 to 45. <\/p>\n
The article alleged that the attacker – who knew simple phrases in Cantonese – targeted many of his victims near train stations and tricked them with the offer of fake jobs. He would then reportedly attack them at knifepoint, usually at night.<\/p>\n
The first attack was in April 1991, the SMH reported, in the inner-west suburb of Strathfield, with other attacks in Moore Park in the eastern suburbs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
