All his victims‚ except the teenager who committed suicide‚ testified against him. Some of them did so via closed-circuit TV because they were too traumatised to face him.
He denied all of the charges against him and accused his victims of lying. But DNA evidence from each attack proved his guilt.
Savage said Hoya‚ 26‚ showed no remorse for his crimes and there were no mitigating circumstances which could justify a lighter sentence.
“He not only decimated the lives and childhood of his victims but also caused major damage to their families‚ and in one case the mother of one of the victims was hospitalised for depression‚” said Savage.
“The accused blatantly and viciously disregarded the fundamental human rights‚ human dignity and bodily integrity of the young complainants.”
