Rape case continues in Wellington

A woman who alleges she was pack raped at Mt Maunganui 16 years ago continues giving evidence in the High Court at Wellington this morning.

The 37-year-old, who now lives in Australia, believed she was going on a lunch date with one of the accused.

The date was the result of a bet with one of the other accused, who offered to set her up with the man if she won.

The woman says the supposed lunch was arranged, but she was taken to a secluded location where she was shocked to find a total of five men present, all of whom abused her. One of the men has never been identified.

The other four are on trial for abduction, rape and unlawful sexual connection.
