Allegations of Sexual
Abuse in NZ |
|
NZ Herald A barefoot sex attacker with an
American accent is still on the loose in Northland but police say information
about him is flowing in. The man sexually attacked an
English tourist on the walking track between the Waitangi Treaty House
grounds and Haruru Falls last Wednesday. He dragged her into the carpark,
sexually assaulted her and left her traumatised and bruised. Police said today they had been
getting a good response from the public about the man but he had yet to be
caught. The victim, an English tourist,
had been offered victim support and had been interviewed by police, said
Detective Sergeant Rhys Johnston. "It has been a difficult
process getting the correct information but that is to be expected in this
type of inquiry," he said. He said police were hearing from
people who had used the track and from people who had nominated suspects
although the same name had not cropped up more than once. The attacker was in his mid to
late 30s with dark brown hair. He wore a large ring on his right hand, blue
jeans and a navy blue shirt with a white circular pattern on the front. He was barefoot and carried a full
backpack. |
