The former leader of the Christian Heritage Party (CHP), Graham Capill, has admitted sexually assaulting a young girl.

Capill's name suppression was lifted this morning at a hearing at the Christchurch District Court.

Capill pleaded guilty to indecently assaulting a girl under 12. The charge relates to three or four incidents that happened in 2001-2002.

The victim's name is automatically suppressed.

Graham Capill stood down from the CHP leadership in 2003. He has a law degree and has most recently been working for the police as a Prosecutor at the Christchurch District Court.

Capill was remanded until next month when he will be sentenced. Judge David Ryan made the observation that the offending was "not at the serious end of the scale".

Now, I know as well as anyone that religion should not be part of judgement for any crime, particularly for crimes of this nature and most especially for sexual crimes against children.

In this particular instance we have a gent who, as the article states, has been a member of parliament. His party name (Christian Heritage) says it all – family values, Christianity, charity the works.

I can but wonder what the “Destiny Party” will bring as the political wing of the local charismatic “Destiny Church”. It can not get much worse I will agree…
