    Auckland's Dilworth School's reiterated its apology to survivors, after former vicar Ross Browne has pleaded guilty to 15 sexual abuse charges

    Auckland's Dilworth School's reiterated its apology to survivors, after former vicar Ross Browne has pleaded guilty to 15 sexual abuse charges


    The 73-year-old has admitted offending against boys from 1987 to 2004, and possessing objectionable material in 2020.

    Browne is on bail and will be sentenced in December.

    Dilworth School has acknowledged the courage of former students who laid complaints.

    It hopes today's guilty plea is a further step on their journeys towards justice and healing.
