Photo: Rob KiddA Dunedin sex criminal who tricked young girls into sending videos of their feet will remain behind bars to complete rehabilitation. He asked to be released to complete a sex offender treatment programme and be with support people, but the board said he remained an undue risk to the community. The defendant encouraged children between 7 and 16 to send videos of their feet, claiming they were required for ballet, gymnastics and school assignments. Hanning initially said if he was not released to do the community-based rehabilitation, he would not undertake the programme behind bars.
