Rickards Due To Take Stand In Police Officers' Sex Trial

Assistant Police Commissioner, Clint Rickards, is expected to give evidence at his High Court trial in Auckland today, as he faces kidnapping and indecent assault charges.

Mr Rickards and two former police officers, Brad Shipton and Bob Schollum, are accused of sexual offending against a 16-year-old girl in the 1980s.

The Crown is expected to wrap up its case this morning. Afterwards, Mr Rickards is likely to be called to the witness box for the defence.

Lawyers for the two other accused have said it is too early to say whether their clients will also be giving evidence.
