Inside the predatory crimes of the Mama Hooch rapists and how they got caught

Warning: This episode of The Front Page contains extensive discussion of sexual assault.

Danny and Roberto Jaz are now known as two of Aotearoa's most notorious criminals.  In 2022, after years of name suppression, the brothers were unmasked as the Mama Hooch rapists.

They have 69 charges between them for their crimes against a number of victims who will return to court over the next two days as the brothers are sentenced.

But who exactly are these criminal brothers and how did they get caught? 

The NZ Herald’s Anna Leask has followed this case through the courts. She joins us today on The Front Page to discuss one of the most shocking cases of sexual assault in our recent history.
