Rickards claims never knew woman

Clint Rickards claims he has never met the woman who has accused him of indecent assault.

It has been standing room only at the High Court in Auckland, where the suspended Assistant Police Commissioner has been giving evidence in the trial of himself, and former police officers Bob Schollum and Brad Shipton.

Rickards has told the court the allegations against him are untrue and he had never known the complainant until he saw her in a court room.

Rickards went on to give evidence that he had undergone a knee reconstruction in late 1983 and was in plaster and on crutches over the time of the alleged incident and was limping for a long time afterwards. Earlier the complainant told the court she'd never seen Rickards in plaster, on crutches or limping.
