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. |
