Allegations of Sexual
Abuse in NZ |
|
NZ Herald Police are still no closer to
finding a Northland barefoot sex attacker with an American accent despite a
good response from the public. A 27-year-old English tourist was
sexually violated after being dragged off a Bay of Islands footpath while
walking between the Waitangi Treaty House grounds and Haruru Falls on March
26. The attack left the victim
traumatised and sickened local residents, bringing back memories of the
vicious sex attack on Dutch honeymooners at the falls in 2006. Whangarei police spokeswoman Sarah
Kennett told NZPA today police were still following up information from the
public in their hunt for the attacker. He was described as 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, carried a full
backpack, and spoke with an American accent. |
