Jesus Fucking Christ

From NZPA:

Former Rotorua CIB chief John Dewar was committed for trial in Hamilton District Court today – but all details around the case have been suppressed.

At the end of a three-week depositions hearing, Judge Thomas Everitt ruled this afternoon that Dewar, 53, had a prime facie case to answer on four separate charges.

However, the judge continued and extended suppression orders relating to the nature of the charges and all evidence presented.

Dewar was remanded on bail to appear next month.

For those of you who haven't been following the Louise Nicholas case, John Dewar was in charge of the investigation in the 1990s and behaved in a very unprofessional manner:

The woman making the allegations, Louise Nicholas, says she sought help at the time of the incidents, but was ignored.

In 1993 she went to Rotorua police station intending to make a formal complaint, but was advised by then CIB chief Detective Inspector John Dewar not to make a written complaint.

Now she believes he manipulated her in order to protect his police colleagues.

I have no inside information on these charges whatsoever, no idea.
