A former Salvation Army
captain is to stand trial on 28 charges of sexual violation and other indecencies
on young people. Police said John Francis Gainsford, 69, of Auckland would
face trial in the High Court at Timaru. The charges, involving seven young
people, arose from when Gainsford managed the Bramwell Booth Salvation Army
Children's Home in Temuka, South Canterbury, between January 1973 and January
1975. |
