DESERVED FLOGGING
A FATHER’S CRIMES SIX YEAR’S IMPRISONMENT (By Telegraph.—Press Association) AUCKLAND, Thursday “This is the worst case of the sort to come before me during the 15 years I have been a judge,” said Mr Justice Ostler in the Supreme Court today when sentencing Heibert Richard Colquitt, who admitted two charges of indecent assault and one of incest. "One charge relates to your own daughter.” continued the judge. "The victims' safety demands that you should be kept away from them until they are able to fend for themselves. You richly deserve flogging. You will be sentenced to six year's imprisonment.”
