Former ACT Party president abused teens in 1990s
After years of secrecy, former ACT Party president Tim Jago can now be named as the political figure who abused teenage boys in the 1990s. Jago was found guilty of eight charges of indecent assault after a week-long jury trial in Auckland last year. He was denied ongoing name suppression at sentencing but indicated he would appeal this decision this year - an appeal he's just abandoned. Political reporter Anneke Smith spoke to Lisa Owen.
