Nicholas vs John Dewar |

The Crown has wrapped up its case
in the trial of former Detective Inspector John Dewar with allegations that
sex was arranged as a gift by his colleagues. The former Rotorua police boss is
on trial at the Hamilton High Court charged with obstructing or defeating the
course of justice between 1993 and 1995. The charges relate to his
investigation of historic sex allegations made by Louise Nicholas against
Clint Rickards, Bob Schollum and Brad Shipton who were acquitted last year. Inspector Alistair Williams said
in court this morning he recalled Dewar telling him of a gift of group sex
organised by either Shipton or Rickards. Dewar previously said he had no
close personal relationship with Shipton and only knew him from work. The defence will open its case on
Monday. |
