His convictions include sexual assault, armed robbery, burglary and child stealing. Loading In 1993, armed with a knife, he grabbed a 12-year-old child from her home, took her across the road and punched her several times, before the girl's screams attracted the attention of neighbours. He then attacked two women in their homes on the same night in 1998. One of the women was sexually assaulted. Six months ago WAtoday published an in-depth report questioning the wisdom of releasing this man back into the community.

At the time Supreme Court Judge Paul Tottle rescinded the continuing detention order and put in place a new seven year supervision order subject to 50 conditions He said he was satisfied "to a high degree of probability" there was an unacceptable risk, that if Narrier were not subject to a continuing detention order or a supervision order, he would commit a serious sexual offence. But he said a supervision order incorporating conditions could protect the public. "He (Narrier) has had the opportunity to reflect on how he must behave in the community in the event that a supervision order is made," Justice Tottle said. "The prospect of a further period of detention...if he breaches the supervision order will act as a significant personal deterrent." Attorney- General John Quigley said Narrier would not have been released from jail in November if the WA Liberals hadn't held up legislation.

Mr Quigley said the legislation would have prevented Narrier from being released and blamed the opposition for holding it up in the upper house until December. Narrier is described as dark skinned, about 180cm tall, solidly built with greying black hair, a moustache and short beard and brown eyes.
