    A former Auckland teacher accused of sexually abusing young boys has been found guilty of five out of 10 charges

    A former Auckland teacher accused of sexually abusing young boys has been found guilty of five out of 10 charges


    56-year-old Benjamin Swann faced a retrial in the High Court at Auckland last week, accused of 10 charges of indecent acts on six boys.

    This morning, by way of a majority verdict, a jury found him guilty of five charges.

    Swann's teaching career spanned more than three decades.

    He has voluntarily agreed to stop teaching, according to the Teaching Council's register.
