Nicholas vs John Dewar |

|
Louise Nicholas is giving evidence
against the man who first investigated her rape complaints against a number
of police officers. Former Rotorua CIB boss John Dewar
faces four charges of attempting to obstruct or defeat the course of justice. Ms Nicholas says Dewar repeatedly
dismissed her allegations against Clint Rickards, Bob Schollum and Brad
Shipton. Instead, she says he told her to concentrate on earlier allegations
against another officer who now has permanent name suppression. Ms Nicholas told the court Dewar
told her he wanted to take over the case because it involved serving
officers, even though the earlier accused had left the force. She says she
was puzzled by his apparent lack of interest in anything to do with Rickards,
Shipton and Schollum and his refusal to take a formal statement.
