Fijian police are investigating claims a former All Black sexually harassed an Auckland teen who was holidaying near Nadi last week.

The New Zealand Herald today reported the man had also allegedly assaulted a teenage boy who came to the 15-year-old Ponsonby girl's aid.

New Zealander Philip Buckleton, who runs a hotel in Fiji, said his daughter was celebrating New Year's Eve with the teenagers at the Hilton on Denarau Island.

"This creep of an ex-All Black grabbed this girl really viciously on the bum and gave her a very hard time," Buckleton told the newspaper.

"When he came back and did it again a second time, a young guy who was with the group pleaded with him to stop.

That's when he (allegedly) grabbed him by the throat and pushed the guy down the ditch a few times."

Fijian police confirmed they were investigating the incident.
