Serial rapist Joseph Thompson has been sentenced to 10 years in jail after admitting two further attacks against young girls - taking the number of his victims to 49.
Through the 1980s and 90s Thompson preyed on the people of south Auckland, robbing their homes and attacking sleeping victims.
In Wellington District Court yesterday he admitted raping two girls in his own home in June or July 1993, the Dominion Post reported.
The jail term will be served concurrently with the sentence imposed on him in August 1995 of 30 years' jail and the open-ended term of preventive detention with no parole for at least 25 years. That sentence covered 129 crimes against 47 victims.
The two new charges emerged as part of a wider investigation.
A second man, who lived in the same Manurewa house as Thompson, is expected to stand trial later this year.
The victims were cousins, aged about 10 and 11, who were at Thompson's house during a social function.
