Shipton, Schollum vs Jane Doe Page 2 - 2007 Trial of
Rickards, Shipton, Schollum Week 2 |

|
The Crown has accused the wife of
a former policeman charged with indecent assault, of lying. It is the latest twist in the
trial of Brad Shipton, former police officer Bob Schollum, and suspended
assistant commissioner Clint Rickards. All three deny the charges dating
from Rotorua in the 1980s in which a teenage girl was allegedly assaulted. Sharon Shipton told the high court
jury she and her husband went on holiday away from Rotorua during the entire
month of February 1984 and stayed at a cousin's house in Wanganui. Under cross examination prosecutor
Brent Stanaway said Shipton was lying and that they had only been at her
cousin's house for three or four days. Shipton was also accused of
talking to her husband and cousin after the complainant gave evidence in an
effort to get their story straight. |
