Yes he got rehabilitation. They do a lot of stuff around the offence chain etc at Rimutaka.

I spent three years doing stuff at Rimutaka for my phd and I can tell you most definitely that all sex offenders are most definitely not created equal.

Peoples' preconceptions are understandable to some degree but I don't think it is fair not to give a second chance after sufficient rehabilitation. Of course, that costs money which is a huge barrier - we cannot afford to give everyone the degree of help that they need.
