Victim advocate speaks on Mama Hooch sexual assualts

From Morning Report, 7:14 am on 26 May 2023

A victim advocate who supported some of the women preyed upon at the family-run Mama Hooch bar says it would be an "illusion" to think that every person who was drugged and raped by the convicted brothers has had her day in court.

Danny and Roberto Jaz were yesterday revealed as being the siblings at the heart of the case involving sexual assault and drink-spiking against twenty known women in Christchurch.

Jo Bader, who manages the sexual violence team at Aviva, formerly the Christchurch Women's Refuge, says it also would also be a mistake to see the case as entirely one-off.

She spoke to Guyon Espiner.
