Former NSW Labor minister Milton Orkopoulos has been charged with 15 new child sex abuse offences.
Detectives arrested the former Swansea MP at his cell inside Silverwater Jail in western Sydney this morning.
The 62-year-old is accused of sexually abused two young boys at Lake Macquarie and on the Mid-North Coast in the 1990s.
The fresh charges include aggravated sexual assault and three counts of causing a child to participate in child prostitution.
The convicted paedophile spent 11 years in prison for child sex offences.
Orkopoulos, who served as Aboriginal affairs minister under former premier Morris Iemma, was released on parole last year.
However, he was put back behind bars after allegedly breaching his parole.
He is expected to appear in Newcastle Court via audio visual link tomorrow.
Okopolous served in Parliament from 1999 to 2006 and was a Lake Macquarie councillor for four years.
