Two Dilworth accused named

AUCKLAND: Two of those charged with historical indecent assault linked to Auckland boys school Dilworth can be named.

Alister Grant Harlow (60) and Ian Robert Wilson (69) did not seek continued name suppression in the Auckland District Court yesterday morning.

Harlow, an accountant who lives in Hillsborough, pleaded not guilty to one count of indecent assault. Wilson, of Maraetai, is charged with indecently assaulting a boy under 16 on 12 separate occasions and of inducing a boy to do an indecent act.

Three others also appeared in court yesterday before Judge Claire Ryan. All were granted continued interim name suppression until their next appearance in late November.

Two other people are expected to appear in court today.

All defendants face at least one charge of indecent assault. Other charges, which total more than 20 cumulatively, include sexual violation, sexual exploitation, doing an indecent act and supplying Class A, B and C drugs.

The charges span from the late 1970s through to the late 2000s.

All are remanded on bail. — RNZ
