Gang member jailed for ‘disgusting and disturbing’ rape of teen

Gang member jailed for ‘disgusting and disturbing’ rape of teen

Note: This article contains references to sensitive topics such as rape and sexual assault that may be distressing to some readers.

A teenage girl bravely confronted a gang member who sexually assaulted her, describing his actions as “disturbing and disgusting” and expressing hope that he would acknowledge the wrongfulness of his behavior.

At the age of 13, the girl was lured by Wiremu Johnson, then 34 years old, to a friend’s place in Motueka in June 2023, under the pretense of smoking cannabis. Johnson provided her with a large quantity of drugs, including methamphetamine, which he encouraged her to consume. Subsequently, he indecently assaulted and raped her while she was severely intoxicated.

Despite the victim’s testimony and the disturbing nature of the crimes, Johnson denied any wrongdoing, claiming that the acts were consensual.

Impact on the Victim

During the sentencing proceedings at the Nelson District Court, the victim’s statement was read, detailing the profound physical and psychological effects of the assault. She expressed feeling alienated and traumatized by the incident, struggling to cope with everyday triggers such as the smell of cigarettes and the sight of a white car.

The court recognized the victim’s vulnerability and naivety in contrast to Johnson’s experience as an adult gang member, emphasizing the power dynamics at play during the assault.

Sentencing and Rehabilitation

Despite Johnson’s claims of wanting to distance himself from the gang and his troubled upbringing, the court highlighted his extensive criminal history, which included numerous convictions for drug-related offenses, violence, and sexual misconduct.

Given his high risk of re-offending, Johnson was sentenced to 10 years and 10 months in prison for charges including supplying drugs, indecent assault, rape, unlawful sexual activity, and drug trafficking.

The court acknowledged Johnson’s troubled past but emphasized that it did not excuse his actions or absolve him of responsibility for the harm caused to the victim.
