Police in Greymouth are asking for victims of historic sexual abuse to come forward after a local man admitted charges of abuse he carried out more than 30 years ago.
Allan William Walton (87) yesterday pleaded guilty to several charges of historic sexual offences against young boys and male adolescents on the West Coast occurring in the late 1950s through to the 1980s.
The victims identified so far share a link though several sports clubs that Walton was involved with, including West Coast junior rugby league clubs and the Greymouth Memorial swimming baths.
Walton was also known by the nickname "Skeeter" at the time of the offending.
