Allegations
of Sexual Abuse in NZ |
|
Hornby police have
wasted hundreds of hours on a string of false sex complaints. Officers at the Hornby
station in south-west Christchurch say there has been a spate of false sexual
allegations in recent months, including claims of abduction and sexual
attacks. In one recent incident,
more than 20 police took part in an operation costing $15,650 after a
Darfield woman falsely complained she had been abducted. The woman was sentenced
to 150 hours' community work. Last year, 290 people
nationwide were charged with making a false complaint, wasting almost 3000
hours of police time and costing more than $230,000.
