Teacher remanded in custody on sex charges
A Christchurch school teacher facing indecency charges has been remanded in custody for a month, to a Christchurch District Court session where he will be expected to enter pleas.
Michael William Hogan, 54, faces 15 charges of sexual violation and indecencies with a boy aged under 16.
Hogan has acknowledged that some offending occurred, but has not yet entered pleas. The offending relates to when he was at a rural Southland school, but in recent times Hogan has been the principal at Prebbleton School.
At a case review today, Judge Tom Gilbert remanded Hogan in custody to a pre-trial callover on October 12, when pleas should he entered. The remand was granted at the request of defence counsel Grant Tyrrell.
Hogan has been in custody for the last two months.
