The teenager turned herself in to police 16 hours after the hit-and-run, by which time the alcohol and marijuana she took that night were untraceable.

‘It was an accident and one that I have to live with for the rest of my life ,’ Le Roux told the New Zealand Herald. 

While on bail Le Roux sparked more fury after posting a picture of herself wearing an orange jumpsuit on Instagram.

Le Roux was sentenced to 11 months of home detention and 250 hours of community work. 

Nathan’s mother Charlene Kraatskow had launched a petition for a harsher sentence for Le Roux, which has garnered more than 170,000 signatures.

The Crown has said there would not be an appeal as there are ‘no legal grounds’ but the petition has been sent to the New Zealand parliament.    

During Le Roux’s sentencing, Judge Nicola Mathers of Auckland District Court said there was ‘no purpose’ in sending the L-plater to jail.

Le Roux has been disqualified from driving for two and a half years.
