No rape investigation

A Dunedin woman who claimed she was raped at the weekend has asked police not to investigate her complaint.

The 19-year-old woman told police early on Sunday she had been raped in alley, between Great King and George Sts, by a man she had been walking with and had earlier met at a city bar.

Detective Senior Sergeant Tony Wakelin said three police officers spent two days investigating the complaint before the woman asked on Tuesday for the matter to be dropped. The woman would not face any subsequent charges.
