Man guilty of historic sex charges

There were emotional scenes at the High Court in Christchurch as a high profile Cantabrian was found guilty on seven of 12 historical sexual abuse charges.

The man, whose identity is suppressed by a raft of orders, was found guilty on two charges of inducing a girl under 12 to do an indecent act, three counts of indecent assault, one of sodomy and one of rape.

He was found not guilty on four other counts of rape.

The events date back as far as 1967.

The man appeared shaken in the dock as the verdict was delivered. He has been remanded on bail for sentencing later in the month.
