flag Keith Andrew Wicks-Cairns, 37, was sentenced to preventive detention with a minimum of seven years and three months in prison after pleading guilty to rape, sexual violation, and burglary in a 2025 home invasion in Dunedin. flag The attack occurred when he broke into a student’s flat, restrained her while she slept, and assaulted her, threatening her if she reported the crime. flag CCTV captured him fleeing in dark clothing and a beanie, carrying a bedsheet. flag The victim and her flatmate described lasting psychological trauma, including fear and anxiety. flag Wicks-Cairns, who has prior convictions for child sex offences, showed little insight and had a history of failing to comply with release conditions. flag Justice Melanie Harland ruled preventive detention was necessary due to his high risk of reoffending and psychopathic traits, despite claims of remorse.
