Allegations
of Sexual Abuse in NZ |
|
Police say an alleged
pack rape in the Wellington suburb of Newtown on Sunday did not happen and
have referred the 15-year-old female complainant to Youth Aid. The girl had alleged
she had been raped by five men she had seen sitting outside a McDonald's
restaurant. She claimed to have
been followed into a nearby house under construction and raped. "We have spoken to
a number of people, including four youths, and undertaken significant scene
enquiries," Detective Inspector Garry Knowles of Wellington CIB said in
a statement. "We are satisfied
that the allegations as made to police are unfounded." The investigation
involved 25 police staff. |
