Teen who fled Gloriavale admits golf course burnouts
By
A teenager who left the West Coast’s religious Gloriavale community has admitted doing burnouts on a golf course.
Barnabas Ben-Canaan, 18, appeared in the Christchurch District Court on Monday where he pleaded guilty to charges of wilful damage and driving while his licence was suspended.
Ben-Canaan featured in a Campbell Live story in April this year, where he said he wanted to leave Gloriavale because he was “sick of all the control in there”.
