USING the trust he gained from the church community, a man sexually abused three brothers over the course of eight years, often while their mother was in the house.

When Nazareth Te Taiari Tira, now 32, was confronted by the first brother he abused in 2006, he told the 13 year old he “loved him like a son”.

Just several days before in his family home, the teen had been woken by Tira lying down next to him on a futon and rubbing the inside of his leg near his groin.

The victim had to go downstairs and sleep in a separate room to get away from his abuser.
