Former St John ambulance driver Christopher King has admitted to more offending.

Former St John ambulance driver Christopher King has admitted to more offending.

A disgraced St John officer who sexually abused patients in the back of his ambulance has admitted to more offending.

Central Hawke's Bay man Christopher King appeared in the Napier District Court this morning.

The 48 year old pleaded guilty to five charges of sexual violation and sexual assault on two girls, between 2002 and 2006 when they were aged under 16.

Some of the offending took place at a mechanic's workshop in Hastings where he worked.

King was found guilty by a jury last month of indecently assaulting four women in his ambulance.
