Nishanth Parakudiyil Prahladan was sentenced last year in the Rotorua District Court.
A migrant worker who arranged for sex services through an online escort site with a girl he believed was 19, but who was actually 13, has been ordered to leave New Zealand.
Nishanth Parakudiyil Prahladan, 25, became caught up in an illegal Rotorua prostitution ring involving women and teenage girls, some as young as 13 and 14, that was uncovered in 2023.
Prahladan contacted the girl in January that year and requested commercial sexual services.
