Defrocked Anglican priest John Hamilton Tovey was yesterday sentenced
to 15 months' jail for indecently assaulting a young woman in Napier.
Tovey, 64, arrived in Napier in 2010 as associate priest at the All Saints parish in Taradale but left the position late the following year. In July he pleaded guilty to two charges relating to offences between April 2014 and January 2 this year, but a charge of sexual violation was withdrawn by police.
