A former Salvation Army captain
has admitted four charges of sexual assault on children. John Francis Gainsford went on
trial at the High Court at Timaru this morning on a range of sex charges
involving young people dating back to the 1970s. Gainsford, 69, of Auckland,
pleaded guilty to four indecent assault charges but denied another 23 charges
ranging from indecent assault to rape. The charges arose from the time
when Gainsford was the manager of the Bramwell Booth Salvation Army
Children's Home in Temuka, South Canterbury.
