(CNN) The 28-year-old man convicted of killing British backpacker Grace Millane while she was visiting New Zealand has been found guilty of abusing two other women before her murder. Jesse Kempson was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum 17-year non-parole period in February after being found guilty of murdering Millane on the eve of her 22nd birthday. Millane met Kempson on a dating app in December 2018. She was last seen in the center of Auckland and her body was subsequently found by police in a bush-clad area in the west of the city. Kempson has been sentenced to 7.5 years in prison for those crimes, which took place before Millane's murder, Kempson's lawyer Tiffany Cooper confirmed.
