How Could You? Hall of Shame-New Zealand-Vaughan Gene Loader

This will be an archive of heinous actions by those involved in child welfare, foster care and adoption. We forewarn you that these are deeply disturbing stories that may involve sex abuse, murder, kidnapping and other horrendous actions.

From Wellington, New Zealand, “four boys, one on a Social Welfare foster placement, were abused and coerced into sexual activity with a Wairarapa man throughout the 1970s.

Vaughan Gene Loader, now 71, pleaded guilty in Wellington District Court on Friday only days before the start of his trial for historical sexual offending to nine charges.

A summary of facts before the court said one boy placed in his foster care was repeatedly touched, usually while Loader’s wife was absent or while in the car with him. On one occasion the victim was also given beer until he was ill.

He eventually ran away.

The second boy did odd jobs a business Loader worked at. Loader would take him out on remote jobs and touch him and also made advances.

When he refused further contact, Loader would demean and belittle him.

The third victim was touched by Loader for three years. It only ended when the victim told his family.

The fourth victim had to leave his own home due to violence.  He lived with Loader for five years.

Loader tried many times to get him to have sex with him and persisted even after the victim said no.

Judge Denys Barry remanded Loader until November [2018] for sentencing.”
