A Greytown man accused of sex offences against young boys in the 1970s and 1980s can now be named.
Nigel Thorp, 61, faced one representative charge of indecent assault on a boy aged under 16, a representative charge of inducing a boy under 16 to do an indecent act and a representative charge of committing sodomy on a male aged under 16.
Thorp appealed in August against a decision by Judge Carrie Wainwright to discontinue name suppression, which was denied.
Yesterday, the court confirmed Thorp's appeal had been declined and his name suppression had expired. He will next appear in Wellington District Court on November 20.
