Burglar threatened intellectually disabled woman in New Zealand with taser for fun
Man jailed for five years after woman moved from her home as she no longer felt safe

An intellectually disabled woman has moved out of her house in fear after a Wellington man forced his way into her home and threatened her with a Taser for fun.
The victim felt safe and comfortable living alone until the day in January when 22-year-old Royden Cherry knocked on her door announcing “It’s the mighty Mongrel Mob, let me in.”
Cherry lived near the victim in Karori and knew she was intellectually disabled and lived alone, though he did not know the extent of her disability, Judge Peter Hobbs said in the Wellington District Court this afternoon.
“It seems that you thought this would simply be funny and that you only meant to scare the victim.“Judge Hobbs
“You pushed your way into the lounge area of the property...you asked her whether she knew who the Mongrel Mob was. She said she didn’t know.”
