Convicting Enting on the more recent charge, Judge John Strettell sentenced him to four months home detention and gave him a second strike under the three strikes legislation. Enting was also ordered to undertake 150 hours of community work and pay $1500 in reparation to the victim. The maximum sentence for the charge was seven years imprisonment. Queenstown police prosecutor, sergeant Ian Collin, said that on January 8 Enting had been socialising in central Queenstown with friends. The victim went to his flat at about 9pm before going to sleep in a bedroom, but woke at about 11.50pm to find Enting touching her hip and kissing her in the same area.
