Dewar takes stand in own defence

John Dewar has taken the stand in his High Court trial, saying Louise Nicholas never told Police about her rape allegations.

The 55-year old is accused of attempting to obstruct or defeat the course of justice, when Mrs Nicholas tried to lay sex complaints in the 1990s.

At the High Court in Hamilton, Dewar said that Mrs Nicholas never told Police she had been raped by Bob Schollum, Brad Shipton and Clint Rickards.

The former Rotorua CIB chief has also categorically refuted allegations, that he attempted to block the course of justice.
