Background
From NZ Herald report September 1997
A preventive detention sentence has been overturned for a man convicted of rape within weeks of his release from prison from an earlier rape sentence. Matthew Alistair Pairama had only been out of prison for six weeks when he rape an intoxicated 17 year old at a party. He had been sentenced to eight years jail in 1991 for rape. The Court of appeal in Auckland allowed the appeal against the sentence of preventive detention for the second rape conviction and instead imposed a term of 14 years jail instead.
