    Citation
    [2017] NZHC 1368
    Court
    High Court

    Judge's assessment that the offending was low to moderate (closer to moderate), that the immigration and employment consequences did not outweigh the gravity of the offending, and that those consequences were not out of all proportion, was correct; therefore refusal to discharge without conviction was upheld and the sentence of 100 hours community work plus 15 months intensive supervision was not manifestly excessive and is affirmed.

    • Discharge without conviction (s106-s107)
    • Indecent act on young person
