Open Justice reports the man tricked his partner's female relative into getting into a vehicle in late 2023 and took her to a remote area off the Taihape-Hastings road.
The woman was eventually able to lock her abductor out of the car and drive away.
He's pleaded guilty in the Napier District Court to a raft of charges relating to the abduction, including three of rape and four of unlawful connection.
The man also admitted to injuring one of his former partners.
