Rape complaint by girl false

Wellington: Police may charge a 16-year-old girl who claimed she was abducted from a Porirua park and later sexually violated by three men.

The girl sparked a manhunt when she told police she was grabbed from behind and forced into a car by the men while she watched her two brothers play at Ascot Park on January 5.

She said she was blindfolded, taken to an unknown location and sexually violated.

She claimed the men then dumped her back at the suburban park, where she was later found by her mother.

Detective Sergeant Rob Gold said police had fully investigated and were not satisfied that the sexual violation had actually taken place.
