KEY POINTS:
A Nelson man has been jailed for 13 months after having sex with a 13-year-old girl, while on bail for having sex with a 12-year-old girl.
Adam Zeal Troy Skilling, 20, appeared in Nelson District Court yesterday and admitted two charges of having sex with girls aged under 16 and one of receiving stolen property, the Nelson Mail reported.
The first offence occurred when Skilling was 18.
Judge David McKegg said Skilling was seen in a "suggestive situation" with the first complainant by friends of her family.
The girl's mother told him she was only 12 but Skilling "did not stop and had sex with her," Judge McKegg said.
Skilling appeared in court a second time yesterday to face the receiving charge.
A young female friend of his had stolen her mother's credit card and withdrawn a "considerable amount."
Skilling took $2000 from her to pay a debt to his father over a car.
