Mayor’s son at Pitcairn trial
A Pitcairn Magistrate’s Court ban on identifying Shawn Christian, aged 29, who has lived in Australia since 1998, was lifted yesterday by a court in Auckland, New Zealand.
Christian’s father, former Pitcairn mayor, Steve Christian, and his brother Randy have already been convicted on rape and unlawful sex charges, but along with four other convicted offenders, are free on bail pending appeals.
