'Evil 8' member to appear in NSW court

An accused pedophile from Western Australia who is a member of the so-called "Evil 8" will reappear before a NSW court after being refused bail.

Alfred John Impicciatore failed to show up to a Perth court on Monday and was found by NSW police at Merriwa, in the state's Hunter region on Friday afternoon.

He is accused of sexually abusing a girl who was aged between 11 and 13 when she was pimped out by her father, and has pleaded not guilty to offences including sexually penetrating a child in 2015.

The matter appeared at Newcastle Local Court on Saturday, where Impicciatore did not apply for bail and bail was formally refused.

He will remain in custody until Monday when his case matter will reappear in Newcastle Local Court.

WA police said earlier in the week he might have been driving a stolen car with 40-year-old Rachel Galvin, who is not facing any charges.

The 47-year-old was due to stand trial this week after being released on bail last December.
