ONE of New Zealand's top surf life savers has pleaded guilty to wilful damage in relation to an incident which occurred at Alexandra Headland during the national titles.
Kane Jacob Sefton, 17, was also charged with two counts of common assault after allegedly throwing a tub of coleslaw which landed near a man and his child on Alexandra Parade about 3.10pm last Sunday.
The salad allegedly hit the man and his four-year-old daughter and splashed into their car.
Sefton represents New Zealand at a youth level in surf life saving.
His common assault matters were adjourned on Friday so his defence solicitor could make submissions to the police prosecution.
The court heard Sefton was due to return to New Zealand on Saturday.
His matters are next due for mention on May 13.
