Background
NZ Herald story here
A fisherman has been jailed for three years for a historic sex attack on a teenager in Wellington. Jordan Paul, originally from Milford Sound and now living in Kaeo, Northland, was last month found guilty of unlawful sexual connection with the then 17-year-old woman in Porirua in 2003.

He was acquitted of two further charges of raping her. Judge Peter Butler said Paul, who had met his victim that night, went into the room where she was sleeping, with another man, and attacked her. She had said "no" but was too "afraid" to call out.

He said the victim had not had a proper relationship with a male since the attack, had trouble sleeping and had difficulties with her friends because of the assault. The judge accepted Paul had now changed his life around, living in Northland with his partner and their two children, aged 14 months and four months, working as a fisherman and studying.

Paul had no similar convictions but had five for assault, two for burglary and spent several months in jail in 2006. "Imprisonment is the only sentence which meets the gravity of the situation ... the victim was vulnerable, young and in an unfamiliar place."
