NZ Herald Canterbury businessman Peter Maxwell Stewart's bid to overturn his convictions on historical sex abuse charges has been rejected by the Court of Appeal. A High Court jury in Christchurch last December found him guilty of five charges of indecency with a child under 12 years, one count of sodomy, and one count of rape. The sex offending dated back up to 40 years and led to a 3 1/2-year jail sentence. Stewart appealed on the grounds that the trial was unfair. |
