Police did not take a statement
from a woman who says one of their officers raped her, despite her laying the
complaint within hours of the alleged incident. Former Far North police officer
Timothy Ogle has been committed to stand trial on the 17-year-old charges. The woman says she was reluctantly
giving the drunken Ogle a ride home when he tricked her into getting out of
her car, handcuffed her, and repeatedly raped her in a Kaitaia police station
office. She reported it the next day and a
superior of Ogle's came to visit her. But he did not make any notes, or
take a statement from her. Ogle left the police after facing
disciplinary action over what happened that evening. He denies four counts of rape and
a number of other sex charges. |
