A Christchurch pensioner has been charged with sexual assaults half a century apart.
The 65-year-old man appeared in Christchurch District Court today facing 13 charges.
He is accused of three counts of sodomy in Dunedin between June 1964 and December 1970.
The man also faces four charges of sexual connection with a young person aged between 14 and 16 from January 2011 to October 2013, on the West Coast and Christchurch, by giving them money and alcohol in return for sexual acts.
He also faces four charges of committing an indecent act on the young male.
