A 43-year-old Canterbury high school teacher has admitted the rape and sexual violation of a teenage girl.
The man cannot be named at this stage for legal reasons, although his name is not suppressed, Christchurch Court News website reported.
Christchurch District Court Judge Philip Moran today remanded him in custody for sentencing on November 28 and asked for a pre-sentence report and a victim impact statement from the girl who is now aged 15.
His case had been heading for a District Court jury trial but he entered guilty pleas to two charges at a pre-trial conference session today.
He admitted sexual violation of the girl by penetration with his fingers, and by oral sex on each other.
He also admitted a separate charge of sexually violating her by rape.
No application was made for bail when he was remanded for sentence.
The crown summary describes him as a married man.
