    An Auckland music teacher has been sent to jail for five years for historic sexual offending against two boys

    An Auckland music teacher has been sent to jail for five years for historic sexual offending against two boys


    Sixty-three year old Dennis Brimble was sentenced on seven charges in the Auckland District Court this morning.

    The charges related to offending against a 14 year old in West Auckland in 1984, and an 11 year old on the North Shore in 2001.

    He was found guilty at a trial in January.

    Police have thanked both victims for having the bravery and courage to come forward.
