Sexual violation by rape

Immigration Tribunal orders deportation of Tongan-born NZ resident

The man was convicted and sentenced to 10 years’ imprisonment for four offences of sexual violation by rape.  The offences were committed between 1 August 2014 and 8 December 2014.

He was also convicted of an indecent act upon a girl 12–16, for which he was sentenced to three years’ imprisonment, which was served concurrently.

Kaniva News reports the minimum term of imprisonment imposed by the judge was five years; the appellant is therefore first eligible for parole on  May 29, 2022.

He has also been convicted of a number of drink driving offences.
