A repeat sex offender has begun an open-ended preventive detention term after failing to address his continuing offending. Mana Tengu Tamaiparea, 48, was given preventive detention with a minimum term of five years.
He was sentenced in the High Court in Christchurch today on a charge of indecent assault on a girl aged between 12 and 16, after he pleaded guilty just before his trial. Justice David Gendall said Tamaiparea's offending had had a lasting psychological impact on the girl, and her victim-impact report made sad reading.
