The parents of a woman
who says she was raped and assaulted by three policemen in the 1980s are
expected to be called as witnesses in the High Court in Auckland on Thursday. Assistant police commissioner
Clint Rickards and former officers Brad Shipton and Bob Schollum are on trial
charged with rape and sexual assault. All three men deny the charges. Under cross examination
on Wednesday Louise Nicholas told the court she was abused by four other police
officers as a 13-year-old but when she complained nothing was done about it. Nicholas also said that
following the alleged rapes by the three accused she didn't complain because
she thought no one would believe her. |
