    A Destiny Church youth leader has been stood down and a police investigation's been launched into allegations the man sexually abused youths in his care


    Our newsroom understands there are multiple alleged victims, with the alleged abuse spanning several years.

    A mother whose son attended the youth group claims he was abused.

    She alerted police in November - police then contacted Destiny Church, which immediately stood the man down from his volunteer leadership role and banned him from the church.

    Police have confirmed an investigation's underway into historical sexual assault allegations involving a youth group based in Counties Manukau.
