Name suppression was yesterday lifted on a Levin schoolteacher charged with indecently assaulting three of his pupils.

Michael Neville, 47, a teacher of eight years, faces three representative charges covering a three-year period from 1999.

The girls were all younger than 12 at the time of the alleged offending.

A joint investigation is under way between the Levin child abuse team and Levin Child, Youth and Family Service. An 0800 number has been set up for parents with concerns about Neville: (0800) 555-700. Callers should leave their details and wait for a member of the investigation team to ring back.
