Joseph Levall Parker, a leader of the “Roast Busters” group, has fled Auckland amid a probe into the group’s string of rapes.

Parker and a cohort, Beraiah Hales, have broadcast themselves boasting about raping young, underage girls as part of their Roast Busters group.

The controversy went international and an investigation was ordered into the way police handled the case, as a 13-year-old girl alleged in 2011 that three boys had group sex with her, but she didn’t consent. Several other girls went to police but didn’t lodge formal complaints.

Now Parker, after getting fired from his job, has gone into hiding, reported the New Zealand Herald.

It’s not clear where he went, other than leaving Auckland. 

Police haven’t pressed any charges in the case.
