Man Avoids Conviction for Teen's Sex Work
Description
A 54-year-old man from Kohimarama was granted no conviction and permanent name suppression after pleading guilty to allowing a 16-year-old girl to engage in sex work from his home. He claimed he believed she was 17 and attempted to steer her away from the industry. However, prosecutors argued he went further by providing her with a wireless doorbell for client alerts and knew she was vulnerable due to family issues. The teenager expressed feelings of betrayal and anxiety, while her mother described the situation as manipulation. The man was ordered to pay a $1,000 emotional harm payment and was warned not to repeat the offense.
