Background
NZ Herald story here
A man has been given the biggest penalty imposed in Hawke's Bay for sexual offending, after waiting until his victim gave evidence in front of a jury before admitting nine years of repeated violations which started when she was just seven. Trevor Fred Kauika, 39, who first began molesting the girl about 1993, was sentenced to 15 years' jail for the most serious offences of rape, with a minimum non-parole period of nine years, when he appeared in Napier District Court yesterday.

Offences of indecent assault and inducing the girl to commit indecent acts on Kauika started when she was seven, progressed to rape and other sexual violation before she was 12 and continued until she revealed the events in 2002, by which time a 16-year-old friend had also been indecently assaulted. While admitting three assaults on the complainant, Kauika maintained his pleas of not guilty on charges of raping the girl and other indecencies when his trial started on April 11, and was also to have defended allegations by the second complainant.

There was also a significant breach of trust over the many years of the offending, and the disregard for her wellbeing, including disrupting her education by keeping her out of school, and the abuse associated with her being a vulnerable child with "nowhere else to go". The probation officer's report said that Kauika remained at high risk of offending. Altogether, Kauika faced seven mainly representative charges, and was sentenced to concurrent terms of 15 years for rape, 10 years for other forms of sexual violation, three years for other indecencies and a year for the assaults.
