A former Whangarei woman with the same name as a sex offender is receiving unwanted Facebook attention.
Amanda Campbell, 38, of Auckland, shares the same name as Amanda Campbell, 39, of Whangarei, who last week was remanded in custody after she was found guilty of a sex offence involving a boy aged under 16.
The Auckland-based Amanda Campbell is originally from Whangarei, and at 38, only a year younger than the Amanda Campbell who appeared in court last week.
"On paper, we are almost identical".
And on Facebook, where Ms Campbell has been receiving "friend" requests from men who have searched her name after learning of Campbell's conviction.
