KEY POINTS:
Roger Tira Kahui, the man yesterday convicted of repeatedly raping a Pukekohe woman in her home, has nearly 140 previous convictions.
A jury found him guilty in 1992 of burglary, kidnapping, aggravated assault, indecent assault and conspiracy to rape.
He got eight years' jail for his role in
that attack on two women who were raped and indecently assaulted before being forced to walk Palmerston North's streets at knifepoint.
In the Pukekohe attack the victim, who can be identified only as Denise, feared she would die before the night was over.
Kahui told police he had gone to Denise's home to get money to support his 'P' habit. When he got there something snapped and the devil came out of him. He said he was sorry for what he had put the victim through.
He also claimed the sex was consensual, even though he made Denise wear a pillowcase over her head and shower to remove his DNA.
The jury of seven men and five women did not accept Kahui's story and he is now facing another long stint in jail. It will not be an unfamiliar place.
The 37-year-old is related to the grandfather of the Kahui twins, whose father faces murder charges after their deaths last year.
After the Palmerston North attack Kahui told police he cared about nothing and to look at his files because he had never been charged with rape.
"I'm not a rapist," he said. "I don't care about these chicks, I'm not worried about them."
That defence will no longer work following yesterday's guilty verdicts, five of which were for rape.
Throughout the attack Kahui repeatedly told Denise to "shut up bitch" and "calm down bitch".
After the guilty verdicts were read out Denise's brother removed a sweatshirt to reveal a white T-shirt with the words "Who's the bitch now?" in red lettering.
Kahui walked out of the courtroom without looking at the family.
The Crown will ask for preventive detention without a finite parole term at sentencing - Kahui has a history of reoffending while out on parole.
In 2003 he was refused an early release on burglary and related charges because he was thought a high risk of reoffending. In April 2005 parole was again declined because Kahui had not addressed alcohol or violence issues.
Less than a year after his eventual release he knocked on Denise's door and racked up a further 26 convictions.
