A 60-year-old Rotorua man has been sent to prison for the grooming and indecent assault of a teenage girl.
Murray Taylor was yesterday sentenced to 16 months in prison, after previously pleading guilty to three indecent assault charges.
The offending took place in late 2010, early 2011, while the victim was doing weekend work at Mr Taylor's workplace.
The grooming started when Mr Taylor gave the victim gifts and begun to kiss and cuddle her.
The offending then escalated to Taylor taking the victim to out the way locations, taking off her clothes and fondling her.
