A Sydney rapist who attempted to have his teen victim killed by a hitman will be kept on a tight leash following his release from prison after the state successfully applied to have him subject to a control order.
Kevin Bou-Antoun was released on parole in June 2021 after spending 18 years in jail for the repeated rape of a 16-year-old and an attempt to evade justice by having her murdered by a contract killer.
He was arrested in 2003 after he and another man repeatedly raped a 16-year-old girl at North Bondi.
