Police are reviewing their child protection and sexual assault investigation processes after reopening 54 cases linked to concerns over the handling of files by Detective Inspector Kevan Verry, including historical allegations of child sexual abuse.
State-funded media reported today that Operation Hark is reinvestigating 40 child protection cases, 12 adult sexual assault cases and two other matters, while Police have established a joint assurance panel with Oranga Tamariki and an independent advisory group to oversee the reviews.
Assistant Commissioner Tusha Penny said the investigation would be thorough and transparent, confirming some cases involved allegations of physical and sexual offending against children.
Oranga Tamariki has begun reviewing its involvement in the affected cases, while Children’s Commissioner Claire Achmad and Chief Victims Advisor Ruth Money said the allegations raise serious concerns that some children may have remained at risk after complaints were closed without prosecution.
Meanwhile cops convicted with CP get a 9 month staycation at home.
You must be referring to the recent McSkimming debacle… 5 co-defendant NZ police members were charged at the same time, 3 criminally prosecuted along with McSkim’ for same offensive material (CP & animals), all lost their job.
We are now up to 20 members caught up, showing an endemic culture within NZ police.
UK Rotherham r*pe gangs were protected by Brit Met Police, who were in some cases involved.
Now NZ find a detective was protecting offenders and many other police members involved sharing exploitation material. The similarity speaks for itself.
McSkmming was protected by the Crown Prosecutor who went hard to suppress the whistle blower – McKimmings ex girlfriend.
Read that again: ‘Crown Prosecutor’… indicates ‘The Crown’ condone or endorse McSmimming’s activities… which means…

Yeah right.
And what about the the investigations into multiple nz police hierarchy involvement with bestiality and kiddie porn activity / videos on police mobile devices and computers.
Oh -of course the truth whilst failing / refusing to investigate and prosecute maori child killers. OR the epidemic of false accusations against fathers who simply want access to their children – denied by the so called “family court” whilst the IRD takes vast sums of money, from fathers, pays it to the child abusing “mothers” with absolutely ZERO requirement that the money is actually spent on the children.
Yep – Tusha is on to it!
Fantasies abound – truth is swept under the carpet – once were NZ police -now wef / un / who puppets
