Wellington District Crime Squad manager detective senior sergeant Haley Ryan told the
NZ Herald last week it was the country s first known conviction for this type of offending. The defence argued there was no premeditation and a cultural report on the man, who is from the Philippines, was directly relevant to the sentencing. Campos has been in the country since 2016. Judge Harrop disagreed, stating there was an element of premeditation to the case as he was told multiple times a condom was necessary and that sex workers were no less victims than any other survivor. I can t proceed on the basis that raping sex workers is any more acceptable (in the Philippines) than it is here, he said.
Sex workers and customers are required under law to use protection. She had told him a number of times that a condom was required, and he said he understood. Campos wore a condom for the first sexual encounter but when he requested a position where she was not facing him, the victim became suspicious. She saw him remove the condom in a mirror and pulled away, turning over and telling him off, waggling her finger at him. She put another condom on him to continue, but he pulled it off and proceeded to rape her. It is believed to be one of the first convictions for ‘’stealthing’’ in New Zealand.
