Rape investigation called off

Wellington Police have called off their investigation into an alleged pack rape in Newtown.

A 15-year-old girl had reported that a group of five men had followed her to a construction site last Thursday afternoon and took turns at violating her.

However Detective Inspector Gary Knowles says an inquiry involving up to 25 staff has resulted in the girl being referred to Police Youth Aid.

He says they are satisfied that the allegations the girl made are unfounded.
