Convicted pedophile and former NSW Labor politician Milton Orkopoulos is “confused and nervous” after being charged with breaching parole a month on from his release from prison.

The 62-year-old was arrested early on Wednesday morning at a house in Malabar and has since been charged with two counts of failing to comply with his strict reporting obligations.

Orkopoulos allegedly created an Instagram account on January 5 but only notified police three days later, his lawyer Omar Juweinat told Waverley Local Court today.

Another charge relates to allegedly talking to a child while on a call with one of his adult children.

Orkopoulos was not in a position to enter a plea, Mr Juweinat told the court.

The former MP will not be required to attend when the matter returns to court on February 5.

Mr Juweinat earlier told AAP his client was “confused” about the fresh charges.

“As one could expect, he is really confused and nervous about the dilemma he is currently facing,” the lawyer said.

The NSW State Parole Authority met on Wednesday morning to discuss revoking his parole but has now delayed the decision.

“The SPA advises no final decision will be made regarding revocation of parole until the outstanding charges are dealt with by the court,” the authority said in a statement.

It has been just a month since Orkopoulos was released from Sydney’s Long Bay prison following an 11-year stint behind bars for child-sex offences.

He was granted parole in December despite failing a 2019 prison drug test.

Orkopoulos remains on strict conditional bail.
