Detective Senior Sergeant Geoff Baber of Auckland City CIB said detectives arrested and charged a further two men.

A 73 year old has been charged with three counts of indecent assault, and a 39 year old has been charged with three counts of sexual violation.

Police arrested two other men who were already before the court and laid further charges.

A 61 year old is facing a further charge of indecent assault, while a 73 year old faces a further five charges of indecent assault.

The charges relate to additional alleged offending that has been identified as part of their inquiries, Baber said.

All four men are due to appear in the Auckland District Court on Tuesday.

Police had spoken to more than 150 former students during the investigation and encouraged anyone with information that had not spoken with them to get in touch.
