Allegations of Sexual Abuse in NZ |
|
As reported
by New COSA NZ Police were reportedly furious that a 13-year old girl
lied, she told them, about her being pack raped at Otahuhu. She had misled
police, telling them three men had dragged her over a fence and down a bank
near the Otahuhu recreation centre as she walked home from college, and that
they used a red four-door car. Police had said the girl was so traumatised it took them
weeks to glean details of the attack, and that the 3 men had to be caught
before they could attack anyone else, but minutes after they released details
such as these, the girl confessed. Her injuries were 'self-inflicted' she said. Police
spokeswoman Angeline Barlow said "What do you do? You have to take it at
face value", adding police had spent a week talking to the girl in what
amounted to a large waste of police time. They said the girl may be too young
to be charged. |
