A man has pleaded guilty to sex offences against boys in the years between 1978 and 1987.
Douglas Peters, 68, has appeared in the Waitakere District Court on Monday on five charges of indecent assault and five of inducing the victims to do an indecent act upon him.
The boys were aged between five and 15 years old.
Police said most of the abuse occurred at the accused's home in Owairaka, his car, or at locations around Auckland connected to the sporting activities he took part in.
Peters was remanded in custody until sentencing in August.
