A former Far North
police officer is to stand trial for allegedly raping a woman at Kaitaia
Police Station, 17 years ago. Timothy Ogle, who now lives
in Queensland, has been committed for trial following a depositions hearing
in the Auckland District Court. He faces four charges
of rape, one of unlawful sexual connection, two of attempted unlawful sexual
connection and one assault charge relating to events in the early hours of
March 20, 1988. He has pleaded not
guilty to all charges. Ogle faced police
disciplinary proceedings following the incident, and left the force. The matter is one of a
number of historic rape complaints against police being considered by the
Commission of Inquiry. - NEWSTALK ZB |
