On Thursday the High Court confirmed to
Stuff that no application had been filed, clearing the way for Dixon to be named.
Abigail Dougherty/Stuff According to charge sheets seen by
Stuff, the alleged offending by the 70-year-old was said to have occurred in the early 1970s in Auckland and Christchurch, against three boys under the age of 16. Dixon was excused from appearing at his first District Court and High Court appearances due to his medical condition and because he lived in Palmerston North. He was jailed in 2014 for two years and two months after admitting two charges of inducing a 9-year-old to do an indecent act in 1973, according to Radio New Zealand.
The other men deny the charges and are set to go on trial. Anyone with information can contact the Operation Beverly team on (09) 302 6624 or by emailing Operation.Beverly@Police.govt.nz.
