A rich-lister's manager has been sentenced after helping the prominent businessman try to dissolve an indecent assault allegation in an "elaborate, outrageous and cynical plan".
The man, who continues to have interim name suppression, appeared
today in the High Court at Auckland after being found guilty of attempting to dissuade a complainant with bribes of future work opportunities from giving evidence.
