An Anglican priest has pleaded guilty to two charges of indecent assault. John
Tovey entered guilty pleas to the charges in Napier District Court on
Wednesday morning. The alleged offending occurred in Napier between
April last year and January 2. A third charge was withdrawn.
Tovey, 64, was previously a vicar in North Canterbury and a priest in charge at Churton Park in Wellington for five years, and then in Wainuiomata for 10 years, before moving to Hawke's Bay in 2010, where he became associate priest at All Saints parish in Taradale, a position he held until late 2011.
