The Rotorua District
Court has been told Assistant Police Commissioner Clint Rickards and former
policeman Brad Shipton pressured Louise Nicholas into sex up to a dozen
times. The court is hearing
depositions into the case against the two and another former policeman, Bob
Schollum. Louise Nicholas claims
the men raped and indecently assaulted her at two Rotorua houses in the mid
1980s. Crown prosecutor Mark
Zarifeh says although she did not consider them friends Rickards and Shipton
would regularly visit Mrs Nicholas' flat for sex. He says she felt
physically intimidated by them and powerless to resist. |
