Police say further charges have been laid following Operation Beverly, the investigation into alleged historical sexual offending at Dilworth School.
“This week, detectives charged another man as part of our ongoing enquiries into these matters at the Auckland school,” says detective senior sergeant Mark Greaves, of Auckland City Police CIB.
A 72-year-old man has been charged with three counts of indecency with a boy aged between 12 and 16, he says.
“These charges relate to additional alleged offending that has been identified as part of our ongoing enquiries.”
The man is due to appear in the Auckland District Court on Wednesday, October 22.
“Investigators working on Operation Beverly have spoken with a number of former students who have been identified as being victims of sexual abuse while at the school,” says Greaves.
“While we have spoken to more than 150 former students, I still encourage anyone with information that hasn’t spoken with the investigation team yet to get in touch.”
Greaves say anyone with any information, or who would like to make a report, can update police online now or call 105.
Information can also be provided anonymously via Crime Stoppers on free phone 0800 555 111.
