This law used to be about indecency with a boy under 12 years old. It was part of the sexual crimes section in the Crimes Act 1961. However, this law no longer exists. It was removed on 20 May 2005 by the Crimes Amendment Act 2005. This means that the specific rules about this offence are no longer in effect in New Zealand.
