A man known as the "playboy rapist" has sought to revoke some strict conditions on how he lives in the community, claiming they prevent him getting a job or buying food and Christmas presents.
Former actor and model Simon Monteiro served 11 years behind bars after raping his ex-girlfriend in a Sydney apartment and was released on parole in April 2020.
The 58-year-old was put on an extended supervision order three months later with 26 conditions imposed on his life in the community.
These included that he wear an ankle bracelet to monitor his movements and inform his supervising officer within 24 hours of starting a sexual or intimate relationship with any woman.
On Thursday, Monteiro made an often rambling bid to revoke certain conditions of his supervision, telling the NSW Supreme Court that he was not a risk to the community.
He said he'd befriended and slept with many women and had not harmed anyone after being released from prison.
"They can't point to one woman in the community that's prepared to say 'this bloke has done something weird'," he said representing himself in front of Justice Peter Garling.
The conditions the 58-year-old is seeking to eliminate include restrictions on where he can work and study.
"This order has got to the stage where I have no food, I can't feed my dog," he told the court.
"I can't buy Christmas presents."
Monteiro made wide-ranging complaints about prosecutors, judges and his former lawyers but especially took aim at Corrective Services and Community Services who created and enforced the restrictions on his life.
"You've got to let me sue them personally, by the way, because they never learn," he told Justice Garling.
Sophie Callan SC, representing the State of NSW, said there was no reason to change Monteiro's living restrictions now.
"The conditions and their implementation ... continue to have a protective purpose which is warranted having regard to the risks," she told the court.
Justice Garling noted Monteiro had not committed offences similar to the rape 17 years ago.
He also pointed to a direction, revoked in June 2024, given by Community Services to Monteiro that he was not allowed to work with female victims of domestic or sexual violence.
However, he was still allowed to have a sexual relationship with women who had experienced this type of abuse.
"I find it hard to understand how that direction is a reasonable direction," the judge said.
Justice Garling will deliver his decision on Friday.
A hearing where Monteiro will seek to revoke the entire supervision order has been scheduled for May.
In April 2009, he was sentenced for breaking into his ex-girlfriend's apartment uninvited, hitting and threatening to suffocate her and then raping her.
After she went to police, he slashed her furniture, soaked her books in water and killed her fish.
He maintains he's innocent of the rape and claims he was tortured in prison.
