A sex offender who has been found guilty of charges involving bestiality and abusing a young boy will remain behind bars until his sentencing.
Anthony Daryl Hoyle went on trial in the Whanganui District Court on Monday before Judge Bruce Northwood and a jury of six men and six women.
Hoyle had denied two charges each of unlawful sexual connection, doing an indecent act with a boy and one each of sexual connection with a young person and indecency with an animal.
After hearing more than two days evidence the jury retired to consider its verdicts late on Wednesday afternoon and returned with a decision about an hour later.
