The NSW government has applied to a Sydney court to keep a repeat sex offender behind bars under legislation designed to protect the community.
Peter Andrew Quinn is due for release on Sunday, having served a nine-year jail term for the aggravated sexual assault of a 15-year-old girl.
He has a history of sexual and indecent assaults dating back to 1977.
Under legislation introduced last year, the Supreme Court may grant a continuing detention order if a judge is satisfied the offender is likely to commit a further serious sex offence unless they are adequately supervised.

Attorney-General John Hatzistergos has applied to the court for an interim detention order to keep Quinn in custody for another 28 days.
He will seek a further order to keep Quinn in prison on a more long-term basis.
Justice Peter Hall, who will determine the preliminary application, has heard that Quinn dropped out of a treatment program for sex offenders while in jail.
Quinn also had a pattern of offending while on conditional release from custody, Crown Advocate Lloyd Babb said.
Quinn's barrister, Mark Austin, did not dispute that his client was an untreated sex offender.
But he argued that the material before the court did not support the making of a detention order, which would lead to a "continued deprivation of liberty".
"There is nothing that places him into a category that he is such a dire risk of reoffending that he shouldn't be released," Mr Austin said.
Justice Hall is expected to make a decision this week.

Repeat sex offender Peter Andrew Quinn, who "brazenly" attacked young women in public places, is to stay behind bars for another year.
Although his sentence expired last May, a NSW Supreme Court judge concluded Quinn would be likely to commit a further serious sex offence if he were released at present.
But Justice Peter Hall refused the state government's application for a five-year order, instead ruling he should stay behind bars for one more year from now.
It is the second case in which a judge has made a final order under tough new NSW laws aimed at protecting the public and facilitating the rehabilitation of serious sex offenders.
Quinn, whose record dates back to 1977, was last jailed in May 1998 for nine years and was due to be released on May 13, 2007.
His two most serious offences occurred in 1985 and 1995, one on a country train travelling west across NSW and the second in a public toilet at Lithgow railway station.
In the first case, the 18-year-old victim had been asleep in her compartment when Quinn came in and pulled her blanket down.
Quinn, who was on parole for previous sex offences, sexually assaulted the teenager and only fled when a conductor arrived.
The victim of the 1995 offence was a 15-year-old girl who went to the station toilet while waiting for her boyfriend to arrive by train.
Quinn followed her into the facilities and when she refused his offer of drugs he touched her outside her clothing.
When she tried to escape by climbing over the wall, he pulled her back and sexually assaulted her.
Lawyers for the NSW government submitted the sex offences had been "brazenly committed against young women in public places".
Justice Hall noted evidence from psychiatrists which indicated Quinn's offending related to both "an antisocial personality disorder and to his alcohol abuse disorder".
At present, there was no program or strategy in place directed at his alcohol abuse disorder in order to prepare him for his release from custody.
The judge also noted Quinn's history of breaching his parole.
In making the one-year order, Justice Hall made various recommendations, including the development of a management plan in preparation for his eventual release.
Advice also should be obtained from a consultant psychiatrist in relation to any assessment and treatment considered necessary for his rehabilitation, he said.

04-01-2016NSW Govt challenges sex offender's parole
Updated 24 Apr 2007, 6:08pm
MAP: Sydney 2000
The New South Wales Government has sought leave to appeal against a Supreme Court decision to allow a serial child sex offender to be released from jail under supervision.
Kenneth Tillman walked free from Long Bay jail in Sydney last Wednesday.
He had served 10 years for sexually assaulting a nine-year-old girl.
After receiving legal advice, the Attorney General, John Hatzistergos, has lodged papers in the Court of Appeal, arguing against the decision.
Mr Hatzistergos says he is also applying for either detention or supervision orders in the case of two other sex offenders due to be released soon.
He says they are Keith Jamieson and Peter Andrew Quinn.
"In such cases as this, it's appropriate that we are able to use the Crime Serious Sex Offenders Legislation to be able to seek orders which in themselves are quite extraordinary, because we're not actually detaining a person for offences that they have committed, they've already been incarcerated for that," he said.
"It's actually about incarcerating them for offences they might commit in the future."

Wondering how that got so bruised? Well, I've been around the block and met all sorts of interesting people in my life, and I'm willing to bet if this was a higher resolution photo we would see a bunch of tiny holes from the hypodermic needle she's been jamming in there
