A man accused of a sex attack on a seven-year-old girl at a Sydney dance studio will face an additional 87 charges when he appears in court today.
Anthony Peter Sampieri, 55, was charged in November with holding the young girl captive in the bathroom of a Kogarah dance studio where he allegedly raped her on November 15.
Sampieri allegedly stabbed a man who came to the girl’s rescue before a second man subdued him while police were called.
Following his arrest, Sampieri was refused bail, and has been slapped with further charges after investigators identified and interviewed potential victims who reported they had received offensive and obscene phone calls, police said.
On Monday he was charged with 87 counts of using a carriage service to menace, harass or offend.
Sampieri remains in custody and will appear at Sutherland Local Court today.
