A former police officer
charged with the historic rape of a Far North woman at the Kaitaia police
station has been ordered to stand trial. At the Auckland
district court, name suppression was also lifted for 45-year-old Timothy Ogle
who faces eight charges, including rape, sexual violation and assault. The charges relate to a
woman who alleges that in March 1988 she was handcuffed at the police station
before being raped. At the time, Ogle was
disciplined by the police and discharged. A civil case brought by
the complainant in 1994 over the way the matter was investigated, failed. Ogle, who now works in
Australia as a private investigator, will next appear in the High Court in
April. |
