The jury in the High Court trial
of a former Salvation Army captain in Timaru is expected to retire today to
consider its verdicts. John Gainsford is defending 23 sex
abuse charges dating back to his time as the manager of the Bramwell Booth
Salvation Army Children's Home in Temuka in the 1970s. Eight complainants
have given evidence against the 69-year-old during the two week trial. The judge will sum up the case
this morning.
