A Blenheim priest has pleaded guilty to a charge of indecent assault.

Father Aidan Kay, 71, formerly of St Mary’s Catholic Church, appeared in Blenheim District Court today over an incident in July.

Judge Peter Hobbs remanded Kay on bail, and he is due to reappear in court on October 20.

Defence lawyer Rob Harrison asked no conviction be entered.

At Kay’s next appearance restorative justice will be considered.

The victim, who is over 16 years of age, has name suppression.
