Photo / FileA young man has been jailed for five violent attacks that hurt unsuspecting women out exercising alone in Auckland. Also seated in the public gallery were several supporters of the young man. Judge Dawson said he needed to hold the young man accountable for the considerable harm he had caused. The judge said women in our community should be able to go out in public alone and feel safe. Judge Dawson said the young man should be commended for attending restorative justice, as it could not have been easy.
