Nicholas vs John Dewar |

The High Court in Hamilton has
watched a secretly recorded videotape of a conversation between a man accused
of covering up historical police rape allegations, and the woman who made
them. Former Police Inspector John Dewar
is facing four charges of attempting to obstruct justice, after the Crown
says he covered up claims by Louise Nicholas of sexual offending by a number
of officers. Wearing a hidden microphone and
being secretly filmed, Louise Nicholas approached Mr Dewar 10 years after
first making her allegations. Mr Dewar told her he knew her
allegations regarding a sexual incident with a police baton was without her
consent, but said he believed other aspects of her involvement with the men
had been consensual. |
