A Tongan national has admitted three historical sex offences, involving a girl under the age of 12 years.
Leimoni Raymond Taofi was helped by a court-appointed interpreter to enter his guilty pleas during a Crown call-over fixture in Gisborne District Court yesterday.
The charges related to offending here nearly 10 yearsago — attempted sexual violation by rape, sexual violation by unlawful sexual connection, and indecent assault.
Judge Warren Cathcart further remanded Taofi in custody for sentence on March 6 next year.
