Newstalk ZB The trial of a high profile
Cantabrian on sexual abuse charges has begun in the High Court in
Christchurch this morning. The man faces a total of 15
charges including rape, indecent assault and sodomy against a virtually deaf
girl from when she was eight-years-old. The jury was told the offending took
place over a ten year period, between 1968 and 1978. The woman laid the complaint after
she was approached by the defendant in 2003, and he allegedly suggested they
have sex. Three witnesses from the
complainant's childhood will give evidence in the trial, which is expected to
run all week. |
