Radio NZ A prominent Canterbury businessman
found guilty of child sex charges arising from the 1960s and 1970s has
dropped his bid for name suppression. He is Peter Maxwell Stewart,
husband of New Zealand Fashion Week founder Pieter Stewart and son of the
recently deceased Sir Robertson Stewart, who founded one of New Zealand's
leading electrical companies, PDL Industries. Earlier this month Stewart, 62,
was found guilty of seven charges of child sex abuse committed more than 30
years ago, including the indecent assault, rape and sodomy of a woman who is
now in her 40s. He was found not guilty of four
other rape allegations. Stewart will be sentenced in
February. |
