Shipton, Schollum vs Jane Doe Page 3 - 2007 Trial of
Rickards, Shipton, Schollum - Verdict Not Guilty |
|
|
The wife of a former police
officer cleared of historical sexual offending says she will continue to
stand by her husband. A jury has acquitted Brad Shipton
and his co accused Bob Schollum and suspended Assistant Police Commissioner
Clint Rickards of kidnapping and indecently assaulting a 16 year old in
Rotorua more than two decades ago. And it can now be revealed that
Shipton and Schollum are convicted rapists, who are serving jail time for
raping another woman in Mt Maunganui in the 1980s. Sharon Shipton became the
centrepiece in her husband's defence case, but was painted as a liar by the
Crown. She says she is delighted with the
verdicts in the latest case and will continue sticking by her husband. |
