A Catholic parish priest has pleaded guilty in the Blenheim District Court to indecent assault.

Father Aidan Kay, from St Mary’s Catholic Parish in Blenheim, was removed from his duties after being charged by police.

His defence lawyer Rob Harrison asked that no conviction be entered and he was seeking restorative justice.

Judge Peter Hobbs remanded Kay on bail until October 20 when restorative justice will be considered.
