Sexual predator and former St John officer Christopher King has admitted assaulting two girls, as more evidence of his sinister past is revealed.
The 48-year-old appeared in Napier District Court yesterday morning and pleaded guilty to five counts of sexual assault against two girls aged 16 and younger at the
time of the offending.
King had previously held name suppression for the five charges after a jury found him guilty last month of eight sex charges relating to the indecent and sexual assault of four woman, aged between 15 and 57, in the back of his ambulance between January 2010 and June 2013. King began his career with St John as a volunteer in 2007, and started working full time in 2009, before resigning in August last year following the string of accusations.
His five charges against the two girls took place between 2002 and 2006 at several locations, court documents said.
While working at a mechanics workshop on the outskirts of Hastings, King would molest one of the young girls in the meal room of the garage, while similar crimes would take place at another company building in Onekawa and at a residential property. During the sexual assaults King would say: "This won't take long."
