A 50-year-old man was arrested at a jail in Goulburn about 9am on Tuesday, following an investigation by police.
He was taken to Goulburn Police Station and charged with inflicting actual bodily harm with intent to have sexual intercourse with a victim, kidnapping with intent to commit a serious indictable offence occasioning actual bodily harm, assaulting a law enforcement officer (not police) inflicting actual bodily harm, stalk/harass/intimidate a law officer (not police officer), and committing an s114 offence, having previous conviction.
