Background
NZ Herald story here
A mother was left stunned and fuming after the man who admitted having underage sex with her teenage daughter was jailed for 12 months yesterday. "It's not enough," the stunned mother said.
Katikati orchardist Glenn Murray Burwell, 44, a former Hamilton toy store owner, was convicted of engaging in a sexual relationship with her 15-year-old daughter. He admitted three charges of sexual intercourse with an underage girl and three related charges of indecency. The woman, who for legal reasons cannot be named, said she was astounded that Burwell, who "ruined my daughter's life", received such a light punishment.
