Sex charges against ex-Catholic Church member

A retired member of the Catholic Church has been arrested and charged with sexually abusing pupils.

It is alleged it happened at Hato Paora Maori boys secondary school in Fielding in the 1970s and 1980s.

The 66-year-old Wellington man will appear in the Lower Hutt District Court tomorrow.

The investigation follows one conducted by Upper Hutt Police earlier this year, when Brother Andrew Cody was convicted of sexual abuse against students at the same school.
