Background
From Christchurch Press story 12th July 1996
Twenty months imprisonment was imposed yesterday on Wayne Rex McKay for indecently assaulting a girl on various dates between May 1991 and May 1992, when she was aged 10 and 11.

McKay, 36, unemployed, had pleaded guilty to the offence before a scheduled trial by jury was to have been held in the Christchurch District Court, and appeared yesterday for sentence. The charge was a representative one, alleging about 12 incidents of indecent touching during the year.

Submissions by counsel Tim Scotter in mitigation of the offence included that McKay had made no threats to the girl, and no violence was involved. He had no previous convictions for offending of a sexual nature. McKay was now very remorseful for his actions.

Judge David Holderness said the offence was a serious one and justified a term of two years imprisonment. He reduced this because of mitigating factors, including McKay's guilty plea and his lack of past convictions for similar offences.

From Christchurch Press story 25th May 2002
Wayne Rex McKay approached an Asian man waiting at a bus shelter and punched him in the mouth, the court was told. McKay, 42, admitted charges of assault, resisting police and wilful damage. Mr Johnston said the attack had been unprovoked. When confronted by police, McKay admitted the facts, and "expressed anti-Asian sentiment".

In a separate matter, McKay had got into a dispute with a taxi driver after he pushed a shopping trolley in front of the taxi. When police arrived he had attacked the vehicle, smashing fittings and lights. On being arrested he became aggressive and abusive.. Calling for a probation report, Judge Green said it was "pretty likely" McKay would go to jail.
