Legal action is being considered to keep the convicted rapist dubbed "the Beast of Blenheim" out of the Marlborough town.
Justice Graham Lang yesterday ruled Stuart Murray Wilson a high re-offending risk who needs extended supervision for the maximum period of 10 years. That's on top of his initial parole period of three years.
Marlborough mayor Alistair Sowman says he has checked out his legal options to see if he can stop Wilson coming back to Blenheim.
“I’m told there are very few,” he says. “Once the decision has been made, then it’s very, very hard for somebody in my position to get that changed.”
Mr Sowman says he still intends to speak out and make a fuss, in the hope the Department of Corrections will cave to public pressure.
