Former LOTR actor sentenced to jail for child sexual abuse

Paris Howe Strewe news

Paris Howe Strewe, known for his minor role as Théodred in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers has been sentenced to 43 months in prison for sexually assaulting a young girl.

The assault occurred when the victim was just 10 years old, leading to severe psychological impacts including PTSD and depression. Howe Strewe was convicted on one count of sexual violation and three counts of indecent assault on a child under 12.

The abuse took place during a birthday party in Laingholm, Auckland and continued the following day at Howe Strewe’s home in Titirangi. His actions have left a lasting impact on the victim, causing her to suffer from panic attacks and necessitating a change of school for her safety.

The sentencing took into account Howe Strewe’s lack of prior convictions and good character references, which earned him a 15% sentence reduction. However, the severity of the crimes, coupled with his lack of remorse as noted by the court, led to a prison term.

The victim’s family described their ongoing pain, with the father highlighting the profound effects of the abuse on their daughter’s life, including nightly distress and constant anxiety.

Howe Stewe’s name will be added to the child sex offender register.

  1. In the State of Florida, the DeSantis government there recently passed the death sentence for just this type of crime against a minor child.
    Seems that many engaged in the ‘entertainment & sports industries’ behave as though they are entitled to do anything!
    This is one example…successful people blowing it all thinking that they are too far above the rest of society to abide by the rules, codes and laws!
