Former teacher sent for trial on sex abuse charges

A former North Shore teacher was yesterday committed for trial for sexually abusing young girls,

The man, 29, was allowed continued name suppression when he appeared at a depositions hearing in North Shore District Court on 14 charges of sexual violation and indecent assault relating to seven teenage students.

The court was told the man denied the charges but conceded he had a case to answer.

He was remanded until next month for a High Court call over.
