A NSW woman convicted three times for homicide has been arrested over an alleged sexual crime.
Regina Kaye Arthurell, 75, was arrested on Friday after she allegedly sexually touched a man at a facility in southwestern Sydney earlier this month.
The 55-year-old man attended a police station on January 22 and reported several incidents of alleged sexual touching.
Arthurell was arrested at the Campbelltown facility just before 10.30am and taken to the local police station, where she is expected to be charged.
Police will allege Arthurell and the man are known to each other.

Arthurell, who was previously known as Reginald before transitioning to a woman, is under an extended supervision order after her parole expired on May 24, 2021.
She had been released on parole on November 12 2020 after serving a 24 year prison term for the murder of her fiance Venet Mulhall, whom she beat to death with a piece of wood.
Arthurell first killed in 1974, when she committed the manslaughter of her stepfather in Sydney, who was said to have been a very abusive person.
In 1981 she committed manslaughter for a second time, killing young naval officer Ross Browning during a Northern Territory robbery.

She committed murder in 1995 when she killed Ms Mulhall at her home in Coonabarabran in regional NSW.
The NSW Supreme Court last August ordered Arthurell, who is frail and blind, to be subjectxjmtzyw to an extended supervision order for two years, rather than the three years sought by the State of NSW.
Murder is rare in Australia, two homicides is exceptionally rare and three “is approaching the unique” Justice Richard Button said in his judgment.
Arthurell had “unequivocally demonstrated a proclivity violently to terminate the lives of fellow human beings”, with alcohol implicated in all of the killings.
Justice Button said it would be “simply far too dangerous” for Arthurell to be completely free in the community and ordered a supervision order with more than 40 strict conditions.
She is believed to have been living in crisis accommodation after she was forced to leave an aged care facility after the community became aware of her history.
