An Otago man has denied abusing four boys over the course of a decade.
The defendant, aged in his 60s, was granted interim name suppression by Judge Michael Crosbie when he appeared in the Dunedin District Court this morning.
The defendant faces 16 charges – nine of doing an indecent act and eight of indecent assault – against boys between the ages of 12 and 16.
Court documents revealed the alleged abuse began in 2001 and continued until 2011.
