Verdict

This is the first time the R&B singer has been convicted for sex crimes against minors and young women.

The mother of murdered backpacker Grace Millane told her killer she is tormented over “the terror and pain she must have experienced at your hands”. Speaking via video-link at Auckland High Court, Millane said: “As a mother I would have done anything to change places with her. I sit full of guilt knowing I couldn’t help her, that I should have been there. She died terrified and alone in a room with you”.

Jury unable to reach a verdict on 10 other charges.
