Dwayne John Davis, also known as McLean, spewed obscenities and required several guards to restrain him as he was led away from the dock in the Dunedin District Court yesterday.
The 39-year-old was appearing before Judge Michael Crosbie for sentence after being found guilty of plying a schoolboy with liquor and cannabis and then subjecting him to a sexual indecency, and several other charges relating to supplying cannabis and oxycodone.
Davis denied the charges and claimed at his trial in June that the victim made the allegations up to receive an ACC payout.
Davis shook his head and scowled at times during the sentencing. Defence counsel John Westgate said his client still claimed he was innocent.
He faced 11 charges and was found guilty of sexual conduct with a boy under 16 and supplying cannabis to the same boy, in relation to one incident sometime between April 29, 2009 and October 20, 2010.
He was found guilty of two charges of supplying class-C controlled drug cannabis to the boy and another person under 18 on numerous occasions between October 20, 2010 and December 31, 2012.
He was also found guilty of supplying class-B controlled drug oxycodone on several occasions between October 20, 2010 and December 31, 2012 to the boy he molested and on a single occasion to the other young man.
He was found not guilty by the jury of two counts of sexual conduct with the boy and one count of supplying oxycodone.
Two charges of sexual conduct were dismissed during the trial.
The boy was aged between 12 and 14 when the sexual offending took place and the other young man was aged between 15 and 17 when he was supplied with drugs.
Judge Crosbie described Davis' sexual offending as ``self-gratifying and, in my view, contained a dimension of grooming''.
It was ``negative, predatory and destructive'' offending, he said.
Supplying illicit drugs to young people was unacceptable.
``The results on young people are grave, especially when such offending is partly to groom and intoxicate a young person into sexual conduct,'' he said.
The court heard Davis plied the boy with cannabis and ``eight to nine cans of alcohol'' at Davis' Waihola home. He then carried him to bed under the guise of putting him down to sleep.
``He later woke up with you lying behind him in a spoon position with your hands down his pants,'' Judge Crosbie said.
In relation to the representative drug charges, he supplied the boy with cannabis on 200 occasions and oxycodone on 10 occasions.
He became involved in the boy's life after the boy's younger brother befriended Davis' son and the boy stayed at Davis' home in Waihola, and later Milton, on many occasions.
Davis' chance of reoffending was high, Judge Crosbie said.
Davis was sentenced to two years and six months' jail on the sexual offending and the related supply of cannabis charge, with the terms to be served concurrently.
He was sentenced to one 2year and three months' jail for supplying the boy with cannabis, with the term being served cumulatively.
Finally, he was sentenced to five months' jail for the other three charges, with the terms being served cumulatively.
