Background
Waikato Times story 17th September 2009
An ex-boyfriend's offer of a ride home turned into a terrifying ordeal for a Waikato woman who was taken to an isolated rural location, knocked unconscious, and bound with tape, a court was told.

Jason Neville Davis, 24, was sentenced on Tuesday at the High Court in Hamilton to two years and four months jail after pleading guilty to kidnapping and wounding with reckless disregard. The charges stem from an incident on June 30 this year in which Davis drove his ex-partner to an isolated location and assaulted her. The court was told the woman had been walking to her car when she noticed Davis nearby.

The pair had previously been in a relationship but remained friends. Davis pointed out the woman's front tyre was flat and offered to change it. As he was changing the tyre, a roll of brown tape fell out of his pocket. The woman drove off but was followed by Davis who alleged one of her tyres appeared wobbly. She then accepted Davis' offer of a ride home.

The court was told Davis instead drove the woman to an isolated place in Leamington where he discarded her cellphone. As the complainant went to walk home, Davis threw a wheel brace at her, striking her in the head and knocking her unconscious. When she regained consciousness, she found Davis binding her hands with tape. In sentencing, Justice Williams said Davis had acted out in rage.

However his victim was able to calm him down and reason with him. Davis then drove her home. Justice Williams noted Davis' four previous convictions for violence against women and said it indicated a "deeply disturbing pattern" of behaviour. Davis,said he never intended to hurt his ex-partner. Justice Williams declined to impose a minimum non-parole period.
