Allegations of Sexual
Abuse in NZ |
|
A man was yesterday acquitted of four
sex charges involving a mentally ill woman. Daniel John Betti, aged 21 but 19
at the time of the alleged incident, was cleared in Wellington District Court
on charges of abduction with intent to have sexual intercourse, sexual
violation by rape and unlawful sexual connection and indecent assault. He was found guilty of attempting
to defeat the course of justice. The court had earlier been told
that after the alleged incident he had tried to give the woman $10,000 to
withdraw the complaint. Betti was remanded until July 11
for sentence on that charge. |
