Nicholas vs John Dewar |

|
The woman at the centre of
historical rape allegations against former police officers has given evidence
that a former police inspector ignored her complaints against three men. John Dewar, 55, is on trial,
charged with wilfully attempting to obstruct, pervert or defeat the course of
justice by suppressing or failing to act on allegations of sexual offending. Louise Nicholas alleges that she
was raped by Assistant Police Commissioner Clint Rickards, former officers
Brad Shipton and Bob Schollum. They were acquitted at subsequent trials. Mrs Nicholas told the High Court
in Hamilton that Mr Dewar ignored her complaint against the three, and
focussed solely an allegation she made about an earlier incident. |
