Christchurch rapists Roberto and Danny Jaz have been sentenced to lengthy jail terms.

Danny has 16 and a half years, and Roberto, 17 years- the pair must serve at least half before parole is possible.

Roberto Jaz told a a pre-sentence report writer he did nothing wrong.

Herald reporter Anna Leask says  he claims the abuse was consensual- and he doesn't accept the Judge's verdict.

"Which is unfathomable, when you look at the evidence and the outcome. Danny Jaz has refused to engage. It's his right, but he's refused to engage with report writers, so we don't actually know what he's thinking."
