Police have revealed that a convicted rapist released on parole two months ago got himself arrested again on Thursday after allegedly sexually abusing and threatening to kill a 10-year-old girl.

53-year-old John Garrison was arrested as part of a repulsive sex crime spree in Queens, according to police.

Garrison served a sentence for nearly two decades in state prison after raping a 13-year-old girl in a Brooklyn alley.

Only two months after his release, he allegedly committed a minimum of five disheartening acts over three days this week, according to sources.

Police say it all began on Monday when Garrison allegedly exposed himself in front of a 51-year-old woman who was in her car in Woodhaven.

48 hours later in the exact community, the convicted rapist crept up behind a 10-year-old girl and allegedly groped and threatened her, according to cops.

Some 30 minutes later, he reportedly approached a hair salon and began to masturbate in front of the store.

On Thursday afternoon, he then confronted a 23-year-old woman from behind and yelled that she has “a fat ass,” according to sources.

Immediately the woman turned around, convicted rapist Garrison pulled his pants down and allegedly started masturbating.

The New York Police Department stated that the vile spree concluded in Richmond Hill more than three hours later when they realized Garrison from a wanted poster and even saw him pull down his pants.

The convicted rapist was then arrested and charged with four counts of public lewdness, and also charges of sex abuse with a child under 11, endangering the welfare of a child and forcible touching over his alleged encounter with the young girl, police said.
