The High Courts of Auckland and Wellington have recently concluded sentencing proceedings for two distinct sets of defendants convicted of sexual violations.

奧克蘭與威靈頓高等法院最近完成了兩組被裁定犯有性侵害罪之被告人的量刑程序。

In the Auckland jurisdiction, three males—identified as B, O, and S—were sentenced following a jury conviction for the collective rape of a German national. The incident occurred on January 1, 2025, after the parties met at a Karangahape Road establishment. Evidence presented included CCTV footage and DNA analysis, which contradicted the defendants' assertions of consent or non-participation. Justice Mathew Downs determined that the victim's state of intoxication precluded the possibility of legal consent. Consequently, B and O received sentences of ten years and five months, while S received eight years and ten months. The court declined the application for a minimum period of imprisonment, citing the defendants' youth as a mitigating factor, although the judge noted a significant deficiency in their perceived remorse.

在奧克蘭司法管轄區，三名男性（身分確認為 B、O 與 S）因被陪審團裁定集體強姦一名德國國民而被判刑。該事件發生於 2025 年 1 月 1 日，當時雙方在 Karangahape Road 的一家店鋪會面。呈交的證據包括 CCTV 畫面與 DNA 分析，這與被告聲稱有同意或未參與的說法相矛盾。Mathew Downs 法官判定，受害者當時處於醉酒狀態，不可能在法律上達成同意。因此，B 與 O 被判處十年五個月徒刑，而 S 被判處八年十個月。法院拒絕了關於最低監禁期的申請，理由是被告人的年輕年紀是減輕因素，儘管法官指出他們表現出的悔意顯著不足。

Parallelly, in Wellington, the High Court addressed the case of Opetaia Matagi, an 82-year-old male convicted of seventeen charges, including the prolonged abuse of his adopted daughter and a subsequent assault on another woman. The court heard evidence of systemic grooming and coercion, including the use of inducements and threats. Despite the Crown's request for preventive detention based on psychiatric assessments of recidivism risk, Justice Victoria Heine imposed a finite sentence of twelve years and eight months, with a minimum term of six years and four months. The judicial reasoning accounted for Matagi's advanced age and deteriorating health, which effectively renders the finite sentence a life term. The court further noted a pattern of domestic violence involving Matagi's previous spouses.

與此同時，在威靈頓，高等法院審理了 Opetaia Matagi 的案件，這是一名 82 歲男性，被裁定犯 17 項罪名，包括長期虐待其養女以及隨後襲擊另一名女性。法院聽取了關於系統性誘騙與脅迫的證據，包括使用利誘與威脅。儘管控方根據精神病評估之再犯風險請求預防性拘留，但 Victoria Heine 法官判處了十二年八個月的定期徒刑，其中最低刑期為六年四個月。司法裁決考量了 Matagi 的高齡及健康惡化，這實際上使該定期徒刑等同於終身監禁。法院進一步指出 Matagi 與其前配偶之間存在家庭暴力模式。

Both proceedings concluded with the imposition of significant custodial sentences, reflecting the gravity of the offenses and the long-term psychological impact on the survivors.

兩起程序均以判處沉重的監禁刑終結，反映出犯罪行為的嚴重性以及對倖存者造成的長期心理影響。
