NZ judge lifts suppression order on rape case

This is making big news in NZ. Not too sure of the details, but I find it interesting that the media was not allowed to report any details of a rape case for twenty years:

In the High Court at Auckland on Monday, Justice Randerson lifted suppression orders which prevented the media from previously reporting the number and nature of the charges.

The three men face a total of 20 charges relating to a period between 1985 and 1986 when the complainant was 18-years-old.

They are accused of indecent assault, rape and unlawful sexual connection and the charges include two counts of indecent assault using a baton.

  1. This has only just been tried in court (yes, the victim / accuser came forward 20 years after the crime).
