Allegations of Abuse
in Institutions |
|
A former Salvation Army captain
found guilty of sexually abusing children will be sentenced in December. Sixty-nine-year-old John Gainsford
has been found guilty of all but one of the 23 charges laid against him. The
offences date back to the 1970s, when he was manager of the Bramwell Booth
Salvation Army children's home in Temuka. The jury deliberated for more than
nine hours before reaching their decision. Gainsford had earlier admitted
four charges and was remanded for sentencing on December 11. |
