Allegations of Sexual
Abuse in NZ |
|
A 47-year-old company director has
been cleared of sex offences against a schoolboy. A jury in the High Court in
Wellington yesterday found the man not guilty of 27 charges of sexually abusing
the boy. The offences were alleged to have happened in Wellington between
1977 and 1981, when the boy was aged between 11 and 15. Defence lawyer
Letizea Ord said the pair engaged in mutual sexual activity when the boy was
over the age of 16, and he had mistaken the timing of the events. |
