>In 1994, founder Neville Cooper was convicted of 11 charges of indecent assault and sentenced to six years imprisonment. The New Zealand Court of Appeal quashed these convictions and ordered a new trial. In 1995, he was convicted on three counts of sexual abuse against young members of Gloriavale at his second trial based on the testimonies of his son and several young women who had fled the compound. Though Cooper was sentenced to five years imprisonment, he was released on bail after serving eleven months.[10][29] Despite his conviction for sexual offending, Gloriavale's leaders withheld this information from the community and claimed that outsiders were persecuting Gloriavale and had spread lies about him.
Looks like normal South Island behaviour to me.
