'A lucky break': Auckland rapist avoids jail for 'appalling' attacks on girls
An Auckland teenager who raped and sexually violated multiple teenage girls has been sentenced to home detention and supervision.
He was arrested after multiple women made rape and sexual assault complaints to police in 2020. He was charged with rape, unlawful sexual connection and indecent assault against five victims and pleaded guilty to all his charges.
He was due to be sentenced in September last year but his hearing was delayed by the Delta lockdown.
Judge Claire Ryan today declined the 19-year-old's application for permanent name suppression but his lawyer John Corby immediately appealed, meaning his name is still suppressed.
