Funeral Director Revealed as ‘Night Stalker’ Serial Rapist Pleads Guilty in Decades-Old Cold Case

A funeral director revealed to be the notorious “Night Stalker” serial rapist who terrorized Sydney in the early 1990s has pleaded guilty to multiple sexual assaults on women.

On Tuesday, Sept. 23, Glenn Gary Cameron, 61, admitted to committing the attacks, which occurred between 1991 and 1993, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), the Sydney Morning Herald and the BBC.

Cameron was convicted of 13 offenses involving seven women and one teenager, committed when he was between 27 and 29 years old.

The charges he admitted to included 11 counts of aggravated sexual assault using a weapon as a threat, the BBC reported. While he faced a total of 36 charges, nine were withdrawn, and 14 others will be considered during his sentencing hearing, per ABC.

Dubbed the “Night Stalker” and the “Moore Park Rapist” by the media, Cameron’s victims ranged in age from 17 to 45.

Although the assaults remained unsolved for decades, the investigation made a breakthrough in 2022, with Cameron emerging as a suspect in 2023 after DNA testing linked the previously unidentified rapist to his daughter, according to ABC.

Police arrested him at Sydney International Airport in February 2024, with his identity revealed months later.

Cameron appeared at the Downing Centre Local Court via video link and is currently held at Long Bay Prison.

One of his victims also joined the court hearing remotely, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.

Most of Cameron’s victims were Asian women, whom he often targeted near train stations and lured away with promises of jobs. His first known attack was in April 1991 against a 25-year-old Japanese national visiting Australia, at Strathfield.

Cameron approached her after she got off a train around 8 p.m., displayed a fake police badge, and told her to follow him due to not having a ticket. He then led her down a narrow path and raped her at knifepoint.

The Sydney Morning Herald reported that his attacks became more frequent over time, with roughly a year between the first and second assaults, and six months between the second and third.

At the time, Cameron was working as a funeral director, according to ABC.

Court records examined by the Sydney Morning Herald show that Cameron met his first wife, who moved from Taiwan to Australia, in 1990. The couple had two children before he “left the family home and never returned.”

In 2008, he met his second wife, who had moved from Thailand to Australia. Cameron credited her with turning his life around, saying she helped him overcome a drug addiction. He and his wife lived in Alice Springs, where he resumed work as a funeral director before his arrest.

Cameron’s next court hearing is scheduled for Oct. 24. He was represented in court by Mickaela Mate, per ABC.
