A former Dunedin teacher with a history of sex attacks has admitted abusing eight more boys.
David Russell Bond, 70, of Cromwell, appeared in the Dunedin District Court this morning, where he pleaded guilty to 20 charges – all indecent assaults and doing indecent acts on boys between 12 and 16 - spanning 14 years.
Today's pleas by the ex-Otago Boys' High School teacher brought to an end a lengthy legal proceeding and counsel Anne Stevens QC made no application for bail.
However, she requested a report on Bond's behalf that would assess the possibility of home detention.
The defendant has twice received electronically monitored sentences for similar crimes.
