The 1984 rape
It can also be revealed the 60yearold Onehunga truck driver has a conviction for raping a sex worker in 1984.
In that case, Mitchell drove the sex worker to a secluded area in Mt Eden and raped her before going through her bag and driving off.
He also threatened her, saying that if she told anyone what had happened, he would get 10 of his friends to do even worse things to her.
Mitchell was sentenced to five years in prison, as the tariff in those days for rape was much lower.
