Allegations
of Sexual Abuse |
|
Three girls have now
given evidence in the case against a Horowhenua primary school teacher
accused of indecent assault. Michael Neville is
facing four charges relating to touching four former pupils under the age of
12. One complainant has
said that Neville touched her during class time, another says he touched her
inside her pants in a storeroom. Under cross-examination
this afternoon the defence put it to one girl that she told her parents about
Neville only after talking to another complainant at a school market day a
few days before. The lawyer also said
the principal had to speak to her about telling other kids that she had got
Neville into trouble. The fourth complainant
has started giving evidence. The trial could go into
next week. |
