Allegations
of Sexual Abuse in NZ |
|
A 26-year-old Taupo
woman has been charged with making a false complaint to police following an
investigation into a suspected sexual attack last Thursday. Taupo CIB Acting
Detective Sergeant Andy Allan says the woman appeared to have been subjected
to a vicious sexual attack on the lakefront. Further investigations now
suggest the woman's complaint was a hoax. "We're absolutely
infuriated by this. I had staff that were called out to this at 5am and my
squad had to drop all other investigations to concentrate on this for a
day," Mr Allan says. "Because of arsons
in Rotorua we couldn't get our police photography squad to attend so had to
employ a local photographer to take the scene photographs, we had to get the
police medical practitioner to examine her and she was hospitalised for some
time as well. "This is all at
the taxpayers' expense and totally a waste of everyone's time and
resources." |
