A former teacher and cricket coach has been sentenced to home detention for historic sex abuse offences.
Former Hutt International Boys School teacher Kevin Fraser Keys, 59, was sentenced in Wellington District Court today to seven months home detention and was ordered to pay $5000 in reparation for emotional harm to his victim.
He had earlier pleaded guilty to two charges of indecent assault of a boy under 16.
The charges relate to historic offending between 1979 and 1981, when Keys was a coach at a Christchurch cricket club.
The court was earlier told he had taken an interest in a promising 12-year-old cricket player and befriended the boy's family.
