Nicholas vs John Dewar |
|
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. |
