A woman who sold her teenage daughter to strangers for sex will now serve more time in prison.
In March, Kasmeer Lata was jailed for six years and 11 months for dealing in slaves, dealing in a person under 18 for sexual exploitation, and receiving earnings from commercial sexual services from an underage person. The 36-year-old had first forced her daughter to have sex for money with a man on her 15th birthday. She would go on to sell the girl at least 1000 times for sex.
At Lata's sentencing - where she was described as "the most despised woman in New Zealand" - Crown prosecutor Natalie Walker called for the offending to be denounced in the most explicit terms. In October, her sentence was appealed by the Solicitor-General. Today, the Court of Appeal released its decision - the appeal was allowed and Lata will serve more time.
Also today, former Maori Party co-leader Marama Fox has admitting drink driving, telling police she had 'only' had six glasses of wine earlier in the evening.
And, details of the hilarious - and embarrassing - newspaper dating advertisement that's making headlines.
