WESTERN Australia's most notorious sex offender may spend the rest of his life behind bars after repeatedly raping a homeless man.Garry Narkle, 55, was found guilty yesterday of six counts of sexual penetration without consent.
Narkle had elected not to be tried by a jury, and sat in the dock with his head bowed for almost 90 minutes as Perth District Court Judge Philip Eaton read his verdict - raising his head only briefly on being found guilty and led away into custody.
Narkle, who has a long list of sex and other offences, was once described by former WA Attorney-General Jim McGinty as a "serial sex monster''.
After the verdict was read, prosecutor Janet Whitbread said the state would apply to have Narkle held indefinitely, given his extensive criminal record.
The six charges were in relation to events on the night of January 29, 2009, when Narkle met his 39-year-old victim outside a bank ATM and invited him back to his Queens Park caravan, in Perth's southern suburbs.
