A former Far North police officer
is to stand trial for allegedly raping a woman at Kaitaia Police Station, 17
years ago. Timothy Ogle, who now lives in
Queensland, has been committed for trial following a depositions hearing in
the Auckland District Court. He faces four charges of rape, one
of unlawful sexual connection, two of attempted unlawful sexual connection
and one assault charge relating to events in the early hours of March 20,
1988. He has pleaded not guilty to all
charges. Ogle faced police disciplinary
proceedings following the incident, and left the force. The matter is one of a number of
historic rape complaints against police being considered by the Commission of
Inquiry. |
