A psychopathic sexual predator who repeatedly violated a woman while on parole for a previous rape has been jailed for 15 years.
The Crown argued this morning in the High Court at Dunedin that 47-year-old Dwayne Douglas Keats should be sentenced to preventive detention, an indefinite prison term reserved for the country s most high-risk criminals.
But Justice Gerald Nation opted – by a narrow margin – for the finite jail sentence, with a minimum non-parole period of eight years.
