Sex charges pondered

A jury decision on sex charges against a prominent Canterbury man was expected today in the High Court at Christchurch. The man, whose name, occupation and age are suppressed, is facing 12 historical charges of sexually abusing a complainant over a 10-year period when she was aged between eight and 17 to 18. The jury retired about noon yesterday after a summing-up from Justice Graham Panckhurst, and continued deliberating until about 7pm.
