Suspended Assistant Police
Commissioner Clint Rickards and former officers Bob Schollum and Brad Shipton
went on trial on new sex charges today. The trio pleaded not guilty in the
High Court in The offences are alleged to have
occurred between November 1983 and August 1984. The men were acquitted in March
last year of raping Rotorua woman Louise Nicholas also in the 1980s. The latest trial is shrouded by
suppression orders and many details of last year's trial also remain
suppressed. A jury of eight men and four women
was selected this morning and the trial is expected to last two weeks. |
