12 December 2025
Howard Temple pleaded guilty to 12 charges earlier this year - including indecent assault, and common assault - involving six complainants over two decades.
He was sentenced to 26 months in jail at Greymouth District Court today.
Judge Raoul Neave says it appears Temple lacked concern for the people he was there to protect.
He says there's an element of hypocrisy in its aggravated actions, when viewed against the values of his community.
