An Indian man will be deported from New Zealand after pleading guilty to seeking sex from a minor. He was convicted and sentenced to home detention. The 25-year-old migrant worker contacted a 13-year-old girl in 2023, believing she was 19, and paid her. He was arrested and charged with entering a contract for sexual services from a minor. He appealed deportation on humanitarian grounds, citing stigma and potential danger in India, but the tribunal ruled against him, though granting a temporary visa to arrange his affairs.
