Allegations of sexual harm over decades have surfaced against a renowned early music specialist.
A prominent musician is accused of sexual misconduct with his students - including a teenaged high school student - over a span of 20 years. Auckland University now faces questions over the way it handled a complaint from a former student, who claims James Tibbles groomed and exploited vulnerable young women for sex.
Alison Mau reports.
In December 2020, the head of Auckland University's music school was called to a meeting to answer allegations of serious sexual misconduct, lodged against him by a former student.
James Tibbles resigned on the spot.
