Police track accused rapist

SEX crime investigators are seeking to extradite a man to Queensland who allegedly placed false newspaper ads for a nanny to lure young women on to his yacht where he spiked their drinks and raped them. Detectives will today apply to a South Australian court to extradite the 63-year old man. He was caught on Monday on board his yacht at Port Lincoln, SA, after Queensland police issued arrest warrants for the man for three counts of rape, allegedly committed between 1987 and 1999 on the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast.
