Allegations of Sexual
Abuse in NZ |
|
Three News A 19-year-old woman has admitted
lying about being sexually assaulted in the coastal settlement of Te Awanga
near Hastings last Monday. Police said the teenager was
re-interviewed after they conducted inquiries and examined forensic evidence. "It is very disappointing and
frustrating that this young woman falsely reported a crime," Detective
Senior Sergeant Dave de Lange said. "Considerable time and
resources were put into investigating this matter at the expense of other
investigations." The woman has been referred to
counselling services. Police said a decision would be
made as to whether charges would be laid against her. |
