A staff member of a Hawke’s Bay school was told to surrender his passport when he appeared in court on Tuesday on five indecency charges involving boys.
The man appeared before a registrar at the Hastings District Court and was remanded on bail without plea to appear in the same court again on July 2.
His bail conditions included not to contact the complainants, not to have contact with anyone under the age of 18, not to travel out of New Zealand and to surrender his passport to the court immediately.
