Shipton hits out at Police on historic sex case

The wife of a former officer fighting historic sex assault charges has hit out at police handling the case under cross-examination at the High Court in Auckland.

Brad Shipton, Bob Schollum and Assistant Commissioner Clint Rickards are on trial over an alleged 1984 attack on a 16-year-old girl in Rotorua.

Before proceedings wrapped for the day, Sharon Shipton claimed she and her husband were on holiday in Wanganui at the time of the attack.

Prosecution lawyers asked her why she had not earlier told police about the trip.

She replied that she would never assist the police team investigating the allegations, because she has read about unethical conduct from that group.
