Background
From Timaru Herald story 18th January 2002
A Waimate man was yesterday sentenced to 14 months' imprisonment for touching the breasts of a 15-year-old girl. Wayne David Humphreys, 38, unemployed, appeared before Judge David Holderness for sentence on a charge of indecent assault, relating to an incident at a Waimate address involving a girl he had previously been imprisoned for sexually abusing. Defence counsel Wayne Van Vuuren said the offence had involved the defendant touching the girl's exposed breasts for a matter of seconds.

Mr Van Vuuren said Humphreys crossed the line for a fleeting moment, a few seconds. Judge Holderness said that for some reason, Humphreys was left alone with the victim, and there had been discussion about the earlier offending, as a result of his parole report being in the house. "You went into the bathroom of the house with the victim. Alarm bells should have been ringing loudly in your head at that point. "It seems to me that you did not heed the strategies that would have been made very clear to you when you undertook the Kia Marama programme at Rolleston Prison. You would have been told repeatedly to avoid at all costs situations of risk."

He said the court could not ignore the fact that Humphreys had asked if he should leave a door open for her that night, nor the letter he had written that contained explicit sexual references and sexual fantasies about her. He warned Humphreys that if he was to be convicted of a further sexual offence, he would be liable for a sentence of preventive detention.
