Roast Busters arrests give criminologist hope for change

From Morning Report, 7:15 am on 17 December 2020

A new investigation into the sex ring known as the Roast Busters is giving one criminologist hope police are moving away away from presuming victims are to blame.

Seven years since the gang prompted headlines, protests, and a petition, police say a fresh complaint has led them to lay fresh charges.

Two men formerly involved in the notorious gang have been arrested, and a third living overseas will be arrested should he return to New Zealand.
