A former provincial cricket representative who turned to serial groping of women on the streets of Hawke's Bay and Rotorua has been declined parole.
Jason Robert Trembath, now 32, was in June 2019 sentenced to three years and nine months' jail for multiple convictions for indecent assaults on women, and
a concurrent sentence for separate acts of making intimate visual recordings.
A sentence end date has been set at December 31, 2023, with parole, declined after a Parole Board hearing on December 2, to be reconsidered next April. He had also been declined at his first Parole Board hearing six months ago, but the board notes he did not expect release at that time.
Trembath was sentenced after admitting 11 charges of indecent assault relating to the random indecent groping of females as they ran or walked on the streets, steps and pathways of mainly Napier and Havelock North.
One was aged just 17, and one was a woman walking with her 8-year-old son to a park.
