Sentencing for sex offender

Sentencing for a convicted paedophile on historical sex charges has been adjourned.

Trevor Richard Hall, 62, will be sentenced in the High Court in Rotorua on December 5 following a reserve decision from Judge Thomas Ingram.

Hall earlier admitted to 11 charges, including sexual violation and assault against a boy aged 6-7 years, and the attempted rape of another person.

The latest charges are; sexual offences against a male, two counts of attempted sexual violation, three counts of indecently assaulting a female aged 12-16, two counts of unlawful sexual connection with a male, assaulting a boy aged 6-7 years and three counts of an indecent act with intent to injure.

The offences relate to three victims between 1996 and 2010 in the Eastern Bay and the Coromandel.

In December last year, the convicted paedophile was sentenced to 12 months home detention and order to pay $2,000 emotional harm reparation after pleading guilty to four charges of indecently assaulting a seven-year-old girl in 2012.

Police received complaints about Hall's latest offending after he was sentenced for exposing himself, inducing and masturbating in front of a seven-year-old girl, who he met through the Salvation Army in Whakatane.

During last year's sentencing, Judge Rollo said Hall groomed the then seven-year-old girl and her mother into a position of trust.
