Reparations to be paid by police officer

A senior South Auckland police officer has been ordered to pay reparations to a teenager he was found guilty of assaulting.

Senior Sergeant Anthony Solomona appeared in the Manukau District Court this morning.

His lawyer told the court he accepts responsibility for his actions.

Solomona was convicted and discharged and ordered to pay $1250 to the teenager, who was 15 at the time of the assault.

The court case brought forward allegations of a sick police culture in South Auckland.
