Allegations
of Abuse in Institutions |
|
Police say there is a
possibility more complainants will come forward, now the name of a former
Salvation Army Captain, who is facing sexual violation charges involving
children, has been made public. John Francis Gainsford
will stand trial in October on 28 counts of indecencies against young people
at the army's Bramwell Booth Home in Temuka in the 70s. Detective Tracey Miron
says the majority of complainants allege the abuse took place when they were
under 12. She says the home took children who were a couple of years old,
right through to the age of 17. She says the
allegations have been made by seven people. |
