A prominent sportsman broke down in tears of relief after being cleared of serious child abuse allegations.

‘‘Earth-shattering’’ allegations of child abuse against a prominent sportsman do not match the character of the man, his lawyer says.

A self-proclaimed massage master left a woman ‘‘haunted’’ after molesting her during a supposed healing session.

A self-proclaimed “massage master” who was previously jailed for groping his clients will not return to prison over another molestation.

The Crown says the only reasonable explanation for a baby’s broken bones is that they were inflicted by a prominent sportsman. 

The allegation that a prominent sportsman recklessly broke a baby’s bones is “total rubbish”, the man’s lawyer says. 

A Dunedin man’s vigilante crossbow attack over a missing motorbike has cost him nearly six and a-half years of freedom.

A paediatrician and child-abuse expert says a baby’s 13 rib fractures were "most likely" inflicted rather than accidental. 

A Dunedin man who used a crossbow in a “vigilante” attack, following a dispute over a motorcycle, has been jailed for nearly six and a half years. 

A baby's extensive fractures were “almost certainly the result of abusive trauma”, a Dunedin trial has heard. 

A baby allegedly squeezed by a prominent sportsman did not have bone fragility issues, a medical expert says. 

A prominent sportsman accused of serious child abuse told police he would never take out his frustrations on a baby.

A prominent sportsman told police he was “shocked” and “confused” after hearing a baby he had cared for had suffered more than a dozen fractures.
