The employer of a bus
driver whose license has been suspended for a crime he committed 34 years ago
says the government needs to rethink its legislation. Dunedin Passenger
Transport driver Lloyd Walsh was told by Land Transport New Zealand this week
his license will be suspended because of a crime he committed when he was 16. Mr Walsh was convicted
of carnal knowledge after he and his girlfriend decided to sleep together two
days before her 16th birthday. His boss Phil Boel says
new legislation designed to weed out serious sex offenders is too strict. He
says there is now nothing the company can do to help Mr Walsh, a single
father of two, who now has no job. |
