Allegations of Sexual
Abuse in NZ |
|
A woman charged with falsely
claiming she had been attacked and stabbed in a Christchurch reserve has been
discharged without conviction after completing the police diversion scheme.
In Christchurch District Court on Tuesday, police withdrew the charge of
making a false complaint. Judge Oke Blaikie then discharged the 47-year-old
woman and granted her permanent name suppression. At an earlier hearing,
Judge Blaikie accepted that the woman's health had deteriorated and a medical
report indicated a debilitating illness and acute stress. |
