Dewar accused of perverting justice

A former head of the Rotorua CIB, John Dewar, has been accused of perverting the course of justice.

Dewar, whose name suppression was lifted on Tuesday, faces four charges including suppressing or failing to act on an allegation made by Louise Nicholas in early 1993 about alleged sexual misconduct by police officers.

He also faces two charges of giving inadmissible hearsay evidence to a previous criminal trial, and one of manipulating Nicholas.

Nicholas is expected to take the stand on Tuesday afternoon.
