The 66-year-old is recalled following a breach of his licence conditions.
Andrew Barlow, previously known as Andrew Longmire, committed his crimes in the 1980sAndrew Barlow, 66, was jailed for life in 1988 for the attacks but was recommended for release by the Parole Board in December.
Despite opposition from the then justice secretary Dominic Raab, Barlow was released earlier this year. The government have now confirmed he has been recalled to prison following a breach of his licence conditions. A Ministry of Justice spokesperson said: "Protecting the public is our number one priority. That's why offenders are subject to tough licence conditions and when they breach them, we do not hesitate to return them to custody."One attack included the rape of a 26-year-old woman in her Sheffield home, while her three-year-old daughter hid terrified behind a settee.
He broke into his victims' homes, using weapons to threaten them - and in one case to cause injury - before assaulting them, often while children were in the same house.
