Corrections does U-turn on teenaged rapist attending university

A 19-year-old sentenced to home detention for raping and sexually assaulting young women, was given the green light to attend Auckland university while on home detention, Stuff reports. But only a week later following calls from a survivor advocate and inquiries from Stuff, Corrections did a U-turn and withdrew permission. There is no evidence of Corrections consulting either the teenager’s psychologist or sex offender’s programme, on the risk he would pose to other students. There was also no consultation with survivors.
