Woman faces charge of laying false complaint
An 18-year-old Cambridge woman will be charged with
making a false complaint after telling police she was sexually assaulted at a
park last Sunday.
Detectives initially believed it could have involved drink spiking because
the woman had been drinking at Cambridge
bars and had little recollection of what had happened.
The woman told police she woke in Thornton
Park. She was partially
clothed and had no memory of how she got there. She said she left her friends
at about 3 on Sunday morning.
Detective constable Steve Dearns of Te Awamutu said police would charge the
woman next week.
There have been 22 unsolved complaints of drink spiking in Hamilton bars since November.
In seven of the cases women believe they were either sexually assaulted or
raped.
