On 25 April 1990, Potter was convicted of drug charges.[3] In November 1992 Potter was sentenced to 7 years' jail after being convicted of 13 charges of indecently assaulting five girls between 1979 and 1984. Justice Blanchard said Potter had "systematically corrupted children for his own sexual pleasure and had abused the power and trust community members placed in him".[2] On release Potter maintained he had done nothing wrong and that he still believed sex from the start of puberty was appropriate.[2] Six other male leaders (one of them Potter's son John[3]) were convicted for assault on a minor, indecent assault, sexual assault on a minor or rape of a minor.[4] Bert Potter died on 6 May 2012. LSD and ecstasy were allegedly manufactured onsite, and teenagers were allegedly pressured to take them by adult counsellors.[5]After Potter's fall from grace it was renamed Anahata for a number of years before rebranding as the Kahikatea Eco-Village which had links to the commune and shared at least some members. In more recent years it was purchased by wellpark and rebranded as Kawai Purapura, which has no connections to the previous occupants, having bought the land from the Public Trustee.[6] A study found that while not all of the approximately 300 children who lived at least part of their youth at the commune were abused, sexual relations with children as young as 10 had occurred with regularity, with parents either neglecting to protect their children from the assaults, or actively abetting them.[7] References1. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=123021 |title=Dishonoured prophet will go - for a price |author= |date=29 February 2000 |work=The New Zealand Herald |accessdate=10 September 2011}} 2. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10507764 |title=Memory won't fade easily from Centrepoint property |author=Megan Jones |date=4 May 2008 |work=The New Zealand Herald |accessdate=10 September 2011}} 3. ^{{cite web |url= http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/4072885/ACC-adviser-silent-on-links-to-sex-abusers |title=Concerns at ACC sex crime stance |author=Tim Hume |date=29 August 2010 |work=Stuff.co.nz |accessdate=10 September 2011}} 4. ^1 {{cite web |url= http://www.crime.co.nz/c-files.asp?ID=1844|title=Crime.co.nz website |accessdate=31 May 2010}} 5. ^{{cite news|last=Willis|first=Liz|title=Book tells of commune abuse|url=http://www.stuff.co.nz/auckland/local-news/north-shore-times/9059697/Book-tells-of-commune-abuse|accessdate=20 August 2013|newspaper=North Shore Times|date=20 August 2013}} 6. ^http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/4287289/Bert-Potters-Centrepoint-land-cleansed-of-the-past 7. ^1 2 {{cite news|title=Centrepoint children living with effects - study|url=http://www.nzherald.co.nz/auckland-region/news/article.cfm?l_id=117&objectid=10647871|newspaper=The New Zealand Herald|accessdate=27 May 2010|date=27 May 2010}} Further reading
