Allegations
of Sexual Abuse |
|
The mother of one of
the complainants in the sex abuse case against a Horowhenua school teacher
says her daughter adored him. The man's trial
continues today at the Palmerston North District Court. Michael Neville faces
charges of indecent assault in relation to four former students under the age
of 12. One of the complainants
used to help Neville clean the school pool before class. Her mother told the
court she enjoyed it and liked to help the accused. The girl claims Neville
touched her indecently on one occasion when she was helping him in a book
storeroom. The trial could go into
next week. |
