Have NZ Police learned nothing from the Louise Nicholas saga, the Malcolm Rewa fiasco, and all the other damning indictments on their competency and integrity in recent years?
Click on this link to view the report of the so called independent Police Conduct Authority regarding a sexual assault on vulnerable women by a hospital security guard, and the utterly disgraceful manner in which the NZ Police dealt with her complaints.
Police treated her with utter contempt, and did nothing whatsoever until another woman made a complaint against the same security guard and one of the officers involved realised that his senior officer had allowed this offender to continue his sleazy activities after the first victim had complained.
Despite the glowing whitewash job of Phillipa Smith, the Attorney General, the NZ Police are getting worse, not better.
Since the Bazely report, which identified serious problems within the Police administration, culture, management and governance, confidence in the Police has continued to plummet.

Hello, I am the patient who you mention in the first article who was sexually assaulted by the security guard. Can you please remove or make a separate post about this as I in no way want my case linked with that of Nicky STevens. His father is abusive and does not care at all about another family losing a kid to suicide. He is all talk - when it actually comes to preventing a suicide / suicide attempt, as he could of tonight when I openly posted that I Was going to overdose on my meds because of all the abuse him and his followers had said to me, he just deletes my comments and sends me abusive messages. He made no attempt to contact police or mental health services or keep the posts up so they can track them. All he cares about is no one dare disagreeing with him on his page. As the patient who was assaulted by the security, I request that you please don't associate my case with that of nicky stevens and his father. They are in no way similar, anda even if they were I don't want my experience to be in anyway linked to nicky stevens' father. He knows what I'm going to do, and he clearly considers my life worthless and doesn't give a shit about my parents going through what he did.
ReplyDeleteMore specifically, I am 'Ms Y', and I have a lot of respect for the police now given that they got the guard both charged and found guilty for what he did to me. They also apologized to me, and overall have been treating me well lately. I don't want my case in any way used to support that of nicky stevens. As a psychiatric patient and with a degree in psychology and a lot of experience both working and as a service user of mental health, I disagree with Mr STevens both with what he says, and with the way he acts.
ReplyDeleteIn addition to apologizing, the police made the ultimate apology by putting together the best case they could which resulted in the guard being found guilty and sent to jail. The detective in charge of the case has been absolutely amazing at all steps of this process. And the officer (Can't remeber if he was A, B, or C) that realized the guard was the one I had made the complaint about did NOT have to do what he did and admit that I had made a complaint about him - he could have easily pretended to not recognize him or whatever, be he did the RIGHT thing and put himself on the line by admitting they had messed up and that there had been a previous complaint against the gaurd that they failed to investigate.
