Shipton, Schollum vs Jane Doe Page 3 - 2007 Trial of
Rickards, Shipton, Schollum - Verdict Not Guilty |
|
|
There has been a bombshell revelation
at the High Court in Auckland. As Clint Rickards, and former
police officers Brad Schollum and Bob Shipton were found not guilty of
indecent assault and kidnapping a 16-year-old Rotorua girl between November
1983 and August 1984, a suppression order was lifted revealing that Shipton
and Schollum are currently serving jail sentences for rape. They were
convicted in 2005 of an historical incident. Shipton is serving
eight-and-a-half years and Schollum eight years. They have been taken back to
prison. Police national headquarters says
assistant police commissioner Clint Rickards will remain suspended while
employment issues over the case are investigated. That is expected to take
some time |
