John Dewar gives evidence denying wrong doing

The former police inspector accused of covering up historical rape allegations made against police officers, has been giving evidence, and has denied any wrongdoing.

55 year old John Dewar faces four charges in the High Court in Hamilton of obstructing justice by suppressing the allegations made by Rotorua woman Louise Nicholas.

Mr Dewar told the court that Mrs Nicholas never told him about her allegations of being raped by the three officers.

John Dewar has also denied a claim that he took part in group sex with a woman and another police officer.
