Louise Nicholas was an
unfortunate teenager, physically and socially ill-equipped to deal with the
predatory advances of her alleged attackers according to Crown Prosecutor,
Brent Stanaway, in his closing address to the jury in the historical rape
trial. Mr Stanaway has told
the court Clint Rickards, Brad Shipton and Bob Schollum, traded for years on
the power imbalance between themselves as police officers and Mrs Nicholas as
an unsophisticated woman. He says Louise Nicholas
did not generate the media coverage two years ago which led to the men's
arrest. Instead he says the
media went to her with documentation showing she had been duped by the
original police investigation. |
