A retired Catholic brother has been charged with sexually
abusing boys at a Maori secondary school. The Wellington man, 66, is the second former worker at
Hato Paora, a Catholic Maori secondary school at Feilding, to be charged with
sexual abuse. His offences date to the 1970s and 1980s. Detective Chris Webster, of Lower Hutt, said the man was
arrested on Monday following a six-month investigation. He will
appear in Lower Hutt District Court today. Police were keen to speak to anyone who had information on
sexual abuse at the school. This followed an earlier investigation into Andrew Cody, 67, who was sentenced in August to 2-1/2
years' jail for sexually abusing pupils at the school between 1981 and 1984. Cody, of Upper Hutt, was an administration worker at the
school who sexually abused sick boys sent to the infirmary. |
