A jury in the The alleged offending dates back
more than two decades when the woman was a teenager. Suspended Assistant Commissioner
Clint Rickards along with former colleagues Brad Shipton and Bob Schollum
deny the charges of kidnapping and indecent assault. The complainant, now 39, gave
graphic details in the Auckland High Court of what she alleges happened 23
years ago. She said she had a five-month
relationship with Shipton and quickly fell in love with him. But she said even though he asked
her out, they never seemed to go on any dates, but just drive round in his
car, park up and have sex. The woman said soon after that he
suggested she meet some of his friends, with a suggestion she have sex with
some of them. She had said she didn't want to do that. But she said despite
this, Schollum started turning up on the car drives and started trying to
join in on their sexual encounters. The woman said she would refuse,
get upset and Shipton would take her home. She became upset describing an
incident she claims took place at a house where she said she was indecently
assaulted with a bottle when five men dragged her into a bedroom. She described the three men
involved as the accused. |
