A convicted paedophile is dividing the tiny Northland community of Panguru on the north side of the Hokianga Harbour.
Former teacher Kaperiere Leef, who is HIV positive, was convicted in 2001 of sexually assaulting boys at Auckland's Hato Petera College.
He has lived in Panguru since his release from prison in 2003.
Although he was welcomed onto Ngati Manawa Marae when he got out of jail, his actions since - including involvement in an ongoing Maori Land Court case - have caused ructions. ...
Mr Leef, who trained as a Marist Brother and priest but was never ordained, taught at Auckland's Hato Petera College from 1996.
