Committed to trial

Police Assistant Commissioner Clinton Rickards (44) and two former policemen were yesterday committed to stand trial on historical allegations of pack rape.

Rotorua woman Louise Nicholas has alleged she was sexually abused by the three men in 1986 when they were based at Rotorua police station.

Lawyers for the accused men said their clients denied the charges and would plead not guilty. Judge McGuire remanded them to the High Court at Rotorua on September 1.
