Comedian Sentenced

...and sentenced properly this time.

Child sex abuse comedian sentenced to 8 months home detention

A comedian who admitted he sexually assaulted his young daughter has been convicted and sentenced to eight months home detention. 

Judge Mark Perkins at Auckland District Court imposed the sentence after the High Court dismissed an earlier discharge without conviction. 

Permanent name suppression was continued to protect the identity of the child who was three at the time.

Eight months home detention is a far cry from an absolutely ridiculous discharge without conviction.

Hopefully drug and alcohol counselling will be part of that sentence.

That is going to be one long eight months for him. Home detention is no picnic. It is no fun at all.
