Teacher on sex charges
NZPA
A Hamilton primary school said yesterday it
was keeping parents informed after a judge lifted a name suppression order on
a teacher accused of indecently assaulting seven boys aged under
12. John Timothy Edgar, 37, a teacher at Hukanui Primary School,
was suspended indefinitely after allegations he had indecently assaulted an
11-year-old boy at the school on November 10. Edgar was granted interim name
suppression last week. He was charged with a further six counts of indecent
assault yesterday. One of the charges dates back to 1991. Edgar's lawyer,
Mark Hammond, said Edgar denied the allegations. He was remanded on bail
without plea to reappear in court next Thursday.
