A former Rotorua deputy principal, jailed last year for
sexually assaulting two of his pupils, has had his prison
term extended.
Glen Rohan Lovatt, 48, appeared in the Rotorua District Court
today before Judge Chris McGuire when he pleaded guilty to
one count of sexual violation by unlawful sexual connection
and two counts of doing an indecent act on a boy aged under
12.
A further charge of sexual violation was withdrawn by the
Crown.
The offending occurred between January 1 and December 31,
1996, while Lovatt was employed at Selwyn Primary School
where the victim was a pupil.
In November last year a jury found Lovatt guilty of two
charges of sexual violation and three charges of doing
indecent acts on two boys at the school between 1995 and
1999.
He was sentenced to four years and three months' jail.
Today, Judge McGuire sentenced Lovatt to a further two years
in prison, to be added on to the sentence he is currently
serving.
