    A Kaitaia man has been sentenced to 12 months' home detention for his part in an under-aged sex ring in the Bay of Islands

    A Kaitaia man has been sentenced to 12 months' home detention for his part in an under-aged sex ring in the Bay of Islands


    55-year-old Marcus Barker appeared in the Kaikohe District Court charged with one count of sexual connection with a person aged 12-16 and two counts of contracting for sex with a person under 18.

    He was one of five men arrested in February when police discovered a 35-year-old Paihia man had allegedly been advertising sexual services with his girlfriend, who had turned 15 a few months earlier.

    That man, who has name suppression, has pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trial.
