Allegations
of Sexual Abuse in NZ |

Kaylene Port cried wolf,
and found herself in the Christchurch District Court after making one false
complaint too many to police. The court had to do
what it could to stop false complaints, Judge David Holderness told Port at
her appearance for wasting police time and breaching a liquor ban. The judge said Port
first made a bogus complaint to police in mid- November, and was ordered to
come up for sentence if called upon. However, she made another false
complaint about 10 days later, and also breached a liquor ban. Port was found with
seven cans of bourbon and coke, at least one of them drunk in the inner-city
building she made the call from. "I'm aware of your
troubled background ... but the court must do what it can to dissuade you
from carrying on in this manner," the judge said. Duty solicitor Leuatea
Iosefa said Port claimed to have attempted suicide several times and a
probation report said she was a disturbed young woman. She had a child at 15,
who was in welfare custody, and she had used alcohol and cannabis daily. Port was sentenced to
six months supervision and ordered to do 40 hours community work. |
