Multiple police complaints were laid and he was eventually convicted; sentenced to nine months home detention in July. Tauranga students Amy Griffiths and Grace Hunt said they wanted to protest today as the nine-month-home detention sentence was a "slap in the face". "It's truly terrifying how you can rape underage children and get away ... with a 9-month home detention sentence," Hunt said. Protesters have turned up to Mt Drury in Mt Maunganui after a teen rapist was given a sentence of home detention. He was sentenced in April to 12 months' home detention and a further 12 months supervision.
