Darren Jolly has multiple prior convictions for sexual connection with, and indecent assault, of girls aged under 16.
He was arrested in 2012 after three weeks on the run, a year after being released from prison on a 10-year extended supervision order.
The police found Jolly on State Highway 1 near Pegasus in Canterbury at about 11.30pm last night.
The 51-year-old will appear in the Christchurch District Court today, charged with breaching his extended supervision order.
