Prosecute Palmy Teen for assaulting THREE woman

A judge says a teenager who indecently assaulted three women could avoid a conviction.

Te Rangiaho Ian Williams​, 18, was to be sentenced in the Palmerston North District Court on Thursday for the indecent assaults.

But Judge Stephanie Edwards put the case off until September so a discharge without conviction could be considered.

”I’m troubled by this case,” she said.


Each time Williams ran up behind a woman and indecently assaulted them.

New Zealand this is an opportunity to band together and prosecute this man for ruining THREE women's lives.

It's disgusting that we are giving him a way out of serving the time for his crime simply because he has expressed interest in joining the army and had a big family turn out in court...

Stephanie Edwards- the judge involved needs her title revoked.
