Allegations of Sexual
Abuse in NZ |
|
A New Plymouth teenager will go on
trial for rape. The 16-year-old boy appeared in the New Plymouth Youth Court
for a depositions hearing yesterday. The youth has denied the rape charge.
However, his lawyer Julian Hannam conceded there was a prima facie case to
answer. Judge Robert Murfitt committed the youth to appear for call-over in
the High Court on May 2. The teenager was remanded on bail.
