Allegations of Sexual
Abuse in NZ |
|
A woman who has accused a man of
kidnapping and multiple rapes now says she may have had a nightmare, the
man's defence lawyer has told the New Plymouth District Court. Gabriel Lee Walden (27) is facing
11 charges including kidnapping, four rapes, two of unlawful sexual connection
and two of threatening to kill. On Thursday, his lawyer, Kylie Pascoe, said
the credibility of the complainant was under doubt. New information had come
to light in a letter in which the complainant said she might have dreamt the
whole ordeal, Ms Pascoe said. Judge Allan Roberts remanded
Walden in custody to April 7 for a further hearing when an electronic bail
application will be made. Walden was kissed and hugged by a
young woman holding a baby as he was returned to prison. |
