Background
From the Sunday News 29th June 2008
The businessman planning to sell a controversial energy drink aimed at teens is a convicted child sex offender.

Christchurch company director Geoffrey Kevin Percy has plans to import up to 280,000 cans of the controversially-named Cocaine drink, which contains more than three times the legal amount of caffeine. He is aiming to market them to consumers aged 16 to 25. The edgy drinks have been branded irresponsible and potentially addictive, and their naming after a class A drug attacked as a "cynical marketing ploy".

Today Sunday News can reveal Percy appeared in the 2004 edition of The New Zealand Paedophile and Sex Offender Index. The entry in the book says Percy, listed as a former shop owner, pleaded guilty to five charges involving indecent assaults on four boys from 1993 to June 1995, when the boys were aged 13 to 14. It says he was sentenced to three years jail, in the Christchurch District Court in May, 1996.

Asked about his entry in the book, written by former politician and magazine editor Deborah Coddington, Percy said his sex offences against the boys was "long gone". Asked if he regretted them, he said "of course I do". "That is something that nobody is very proud of, that was the wrong direction wasn't it?," Percy said.

Percy was also jailed, for two-and-a-half years, in the Christchurch District Court in August, 2004, on 14 charges of receiving stolen computers. But on Friday, he said he was remorseful for his actions and had done an about-turn in his life. He was now a law-abiding citizen who wanted to do the right thing, he said. "No one is perfect. "There has been ups and downs and bits and pieces but I've just plodded along and moved forward," Percy said.
