A retired senior educator is facing charges of sexual offending against a young child a decade ago.
The man, in his 70s, appeared briefly before a Community Magistrate at the Waitākere District Court this morning where he was granted interim name suppression.
He faces five charges - two of sexual violation and three of doing an indecent act on the same child in 2011 and 2013.
Court documents show the child, a boy, was 5 and 7 at the time of the alleged offending.
