Claims a former All Black sexually harassed an Auckland teen holidaying near Nadi last week are being investigated by Fijian police.
The man had also allegedly assaulted a teenage boy who came to the 15-year-old Ponsonby girl’s aid, the New Zealand Herald reported.
The girl’s father, Philip Buckleton, who runs a hotel in Fiji, said his daughter was celebrating New Year’s Eve with teenagers at Denarau Island’s Hilton hotel.
"This creep of an ex-All Black grabbed this girl really viciously on the bum and gave her a very hard time," Buckleton told the Herald.
"When he came back and did it again a second time, a young guy who was with the group pleaded with him to stop.
That's when he (allegedly) grabbed him by the throat and pushed the guy down the ditch a few times."
Fijian police confirmed they were investigating the incident.
