## Resource

A 63-year-old man faces serious historic sexual offense charges, including four counts of unlawful sexual contact with boys aged 12–16 and three counts of indecent assault on a boy in the same age range. Allegations span years, with the man reportedly residing in both Auckland and Christchurch. He’s scheduled to appear in court next month as legal proceedings begin — officials remain tight-lipped, as is standard, while the case moves toward courtroom resolution.
