Police acknowledge the sentence handed down to Keith Wicks-Cairns in the High Court at Dunedin today.
Wicks-Cairns was sentenced to 11 years imprisonment with a non-parole period of seven years and three months.
Detective Sergeant Reece Munro says this is a positive outcome for the victims and our community.
"We are glad to see action taken against this offender, who caused harm to not only his victims, but the wider community.
"We also want to congratulate the tireless commitment in the wider North Dunedin area by our partners, led by University of Otago proctor Dave Scott.
"It is satisfying to know that individuals such as the proctor are tirelessly advocating for their community."
Police have and will continue to undertake prevention activity in the wider Dunedin area to prevent such offences.
