Michael Sene convicted of raping a young girl inside his shack has been jailed for 7 years. He apologized to the court for his action, and begged for a second chance to go back home and care for his mother, who is staying at home alone. Before the court delivered its sentence, a Probation Revocation Hearing was held before Justice Patea, along with Associate Judges, Mamea Sala Jr and Tunupopo Alalaga, due to the fact that Sene had violated conditions of his probation from his first criminal conviction back in 2014, which was also a sex offense. “Having considered all the facts, we feel that you’re going to serve your two sentences concurrently, meaning, you’re now going to jail for 7 years, not 12 years. You will also appear before the Parole Board in the future for your hearing.” The defendant was also ordered to register as a sex offender, and undergo a mandatory HIV testing as require by law.
