Benjamin Goundar who is a serving prisoner in New Zealand will be deported to Fiji after his release from jail for degrading and cruel sexual abuse against his young cellmate.
Goundar will remain in prison in New Zealand for an indefinite term until he is assessed as being safe to release.
According to NZ Herald, the 31-year-old was found guilty late last year in the High Court at Wellington on nine charges, including common assault, sexual violation and threatening to kill.
The convicted rapist was already serving a lengthy sentence for raping a teenage girl in Hamilton before the latest offending, which happened in Upper Hutt's Rimutaka Prison over two-and-a-half months.
The victim of the current offending said Goundar raped him nearly every night from mid October 2017 to early January 2018.
He made death threats to dissuade the victim from moving to a different cell.
The abuse only stopped when an anonymous call was made to Crimestoppers, and Goundar was moved out of the unit.
When interviewed for a pre-sentence report, Goundar refused to answer questions relating to the offending, and was assessed as having low prospects of rehabilitation.
Another report said Goundar was sadistic and domineering.
Justice Karen Clark chose to impose a preventive detention sentence with a minimum non-parole period of 10 years.
Justice Clark also noted Goundar would be deported to Fiji if he is ever released from prison.
