Background
From the Evening Post, 25 November 1998
Tears streamed down the face of a former Black Power member yesterday as he was jailed for eight years for rape. John Daniel Lennie Kelly, 28, of South Auckland, had earlier been found guilty on one charge of rape, three of sexual violation by unlawful sexual connection and one of demanding with menaces. The High Court at Auckland was told Kelly went to the home of his 36-year-old victim claiming that her jailed husband owed him a debt. "She submitted to your demands for sex on the basis primarily of fear for her children and fear for herself," Justice Nicholson said in passing sentence. Kelly's lawyer, Paul Trehey, said his client felt he was the subject of a "massive injustice."
