Danny and Roberto Jaz convicted on total 69 charges in case that has sparked outpouring of anger
Two New Zealand brothers have been sentenced to 16 and a half and 17 years in prison for drugging and sexually assaulting 18 young women at the Christchurch restaurant and bar they managed.
Six women presented statements in court on Thursday, detailing the impact the crimes had had on them. Some read their statements standing side-by-side to support each other. While Danny pleaded guilty to some of the sexual assault charges, neither brother has expressed remorse for their crimes. They stood expressionless in the dock as victim impact statements were read.
Crown prosecutor Andrew McRae said New Zealand had seen no other cases such as this in terms of the scale and type of offending. The case has sent ripples through the country, with an outpouring of anger and support for the survivors.
