Sentencing in Mt Maunganui pack rape case

Four men who abducted and pack raped a woman at Mt Maunganui 16 years ago have been sentenced today at the High Court in Wellington.

The men, aged from 40 to 53, were found guilty last month, after a two-and-a-half week trial. The jury rejected their defence that the woman had been a willing partner in a group sex session.

A 47-year-old man whose name is suppressed, has been given eight-and-a-half years in jail. A 53-year-old has been sentenced to eight years.

Tauranga businessman Peter McNamara has been sentenced to seven years in jail.

Firefighter Warren Hales has been given five-and-a-half years.
