this all came to light last year when a young Rotorua woman claimed to have been raped while sitting in a Rotorua jail by police officers..in the late 80's.
She named her attackers as being Bob Shipton..Rickards..'both police detectives'.
They were found not guilty by the jury.
However..what the jury were not allowed to be told was that. Bob Shipton was already serving time in prison for a pack rape on a 19 yr old female in Tauranga.
Since the revelation of the Rotorua rape..
others have come forward and have stated the same thing..indicating Bob Shipton as being involved and others from the police force.
Complaints from all the victims were laid against these men as the events happened but were either swept under the carpet by supporting collegues..or filed and totally buried under loads of paperwork on purpose.
A recent complaint dating back to as late as 2001 against Bob Shipton and other officers is being investigated..however..this complaint has video footage of the complainant being pack raped on the bonnet of a police car..
