A Kaitaia man charged with indecently assaulting young boys was one of its approved caregivers, a government agency has confirmed.
However, Child, Youth and Family says the charges against him do not involve children it placed in his care.
Daniel Taylor appeared in the Kaitaia District Court on Thursday on 15 charges of indecent assault, and two of attempted unlawful sexual connection involving boys aged from under 12 to over 16. Police say the offending happened between 2007 and early 2011.
The 33-year-old former leader of the Kaitaia Business Association was also a prominent elder and youth leader in the Church of the Latter Day Saints.
