A New Zealand teacher has been found guilty of having sex with an underage student on multiple occasions. Daniel Bruce McMillan started a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old girl while teaching at Kingslea School for youth offenders in Christchurch in 2014. McMillan did not deny his sexual relationship with the young girl, but said it did not begin while she was underage. The jury found McMillan guilty of meeting a young person following sexual grooming and three charges of sexual connection with a person under 16. The former teacher stopped working at Kingslea in 2016 after the New Zealand Teachers Disciplinary Tribunal censured him for smoking cannabis.
