Sexual abuse prompts police appeal

Police want to speak to past and present students of a Feilding Maori boys college, after a second former employee was charged with sexual abuse.

A 66-year-old retired member of the Catholic Church has been charged with sex offences committed in the 1970s and 80s.

Detective Chris Webster says the offences were allegedly committed while the man was a teacher at Hato Paora.

That is the same school where Brother Andrew Cody committed sexual offences.

Detective Webster wants to speak to anyone who may have information about sexual abuse at the school.

The man will appear in the Lower Hutt District Court tomorrow morning.
